Mount Felix: The Walton Hospital

During the war, Violet Woods worked as a nurse at Mount Felix, a few  miles from her home in Shepperton. Here she met Claus Nissen, whom she married in 1917 in Staines. In 1919, with baby Brenda in arms, she boarded the Athenic, a sister ship to the Titanic, and sailed to New Zealand, never to see England again. Recently Walton celebrated ANZAC day (April 25) to commemorate the New Zealanders. Read the story. You can check out some photos here.
