In 1915 and with the war continuing in Europe, Sheila Macbeth Mitchell served as an auxiliary in Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Hospital Nursing Services, noting sometime later,
"In 1915, the London Hospitals were asked to take people like me for 6 months training - so that there would be enough nurses to look after the wounded. I went to Training School of London Hospital for 6 weeks in Bow - & then worked at the Hospital in Whitechapel for 6 months - after which I became a Special Military Probationer attached to Queen Alexandra's Military Nursing Service Q.A.M.N.S. My 1st Station was outside Nottingham".
