Death in Service - Birmingham Nurse dies of Influenza

90,000 volunteers worked at home and abroad in World War One.

Bertha Larner served as a nurse in world war one from 29th June 1918 until her death on 28th October 1918. Bertha died of influenza during the most serious epidemic of any disease in history.
