Description
English:

In this photograph, four women from the Seattle area -- (left to right) Nell "Brownie" Brown, Esther Backenlus, Abbie Ewart and Adelaide "Woodsy" Woods -- pose in Gramercy Park in their new Red Cross nurse uniforms. The women were in New York awaiting transport to Army base hospitals in France. The women departed the United State on June 12 on the SS Megantic. Abbie Ewart wrote in her diary that day "As we passed the Statue of Liberty we seemed to leave a little of us behind for we realized then for the first time - we were really leaving our homeland." The women landed at Liverpool on June 24, and continued on to France a few days later.

Handwritten on verso: Brownie, Esther B, myself & Woodsie in Gramercy Park, New York City. May '18. Outdoor uniform. [different handwriting] All Seattle nurses.
