Received this wonderful letter this week. Am posting it for all to read. 
================
Hello, I was surprised to see my aunt, Nurse Helen Fairchild's name come up on your website in relation to one of your members visiting Somme American Military Cemetery, and commenting about Nurse Fairchild. She was my aunt.
She was a WWI nurse who spent time at a ccs at Third Battle of Ypres-Passchendaele. She died overseas and was reburied in Somme American Military Cemetery. There are four other nurses buried there, I don't have their history.
At a future date, the American Battle Monuments Commission is offering a documentary about all the American Cemeteries overseas. They asked me for a photo and information about Nurse Fairchild, and when they show Somme Cem, they will feature Nurse Fairchild. She was a US Army Reserve nurse who had graduated from Pennsylvania Hospital in 1913. We entered the war April 6, 1917, and she was told to report to the docks in Philadelphia in May. By June her small group of nurses and doctors took over a British Base Hospital north of Omaha Beach (and in June, too)! By July, the British Army Medical Corps asked for surgical teams to come to the Front near Ypres for the Third Battle of Passchendaele which was to start the end of that month.
I spent the last 12 years researching this battle and her place in it. I wrote a big book with 300 photos, which also included the names of all the nurses and doctors who died in WWI, where they were from, where they died, and what they died of. My book also includes 35 or so official letters and documentation between my grandparents and our US government to get her buried and reburied. I have also included all her letters she wrote, and I was also able to locate her autopsy at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Philadelphia. There is so much I could share, and I always enjoy reading anything and everything I can find about WWI.
This is why I would like to be a member. My husband was a 20 year Marine, my son was a Marine jet pilot, my other son was in the reserves, and my brother was in the Navy in WWII. I have the greatest admiration for service people. PS Many of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.
Nelle Fairchild Rote, age 78. Helen was my dad's sister.
