Queen Alexandra

A Memory of Hindhead.

I joined the Queen Alexandra Nursing Corps in 1958 and came down from Scotland to QA depot at Hindhead. After training at the Dental College, Aldershot was posted to the Dental Centre, Connaught Hospital. My name was then Smith. Met my husband Barney Barnard there, he was doing his National Service in the medics, although most of his time was on switchboard. We were married from the camp on the 21st March 1959. I was given away by Sgt Vic Trinder and our bridesmaid was Margaret Boal. Sgt Pete Greenslade took our wedding photos. Just met up with Margaret and Bill Boal last month for the first time since our wedding. Sgt Ian Scott and Sgt Ron(?) supplied the drink for our reception at the Trinders.
