| Notes | British War Medal 1914-20, WW1 Part of mounted medal set of 22-87 Sister Phoebe Mary Reynolds, New Zealand Army Nursing Service (NZANS), NZEF. Note- Although the medal set includes a War Medal 1939-45 and a New Zealand War Service Medal, these medals were not awarded to Sister Phoebe Mary Reynolds who died in 1923. Phoebe Mary Reynolds (1876-1923) was the daughter of James and Elizabeth Reynolds,, trained at Auckland Hospital where she qualified in 1905. Prior to WW1 she and a Miss Tebbutt owned a private hospital in Hawera. She served during WW1 with the New Zealand Army Nursing Service (NZANS) Promotions- 21.5.1915- appointed Staff Nurse 17.4.1916- appointed as Sister Awards- Associate Royal Red Cross Worked at No 17 General Hospital Alexandria, and on Transport duty to New Zealand. During 1916 Phoebe Reynolds returned to New Zealand on duty aboard the Navua and on her return to England she was appointed to the staff of No 2 NZGH, Walton-on-Thames. The following year she was admitted as a patient and in December 1917 left the UK aboard HS Maheno, returning to New Zealand as 'permanently unfit' . Sister Reynolds was discharged in July 1919. She never fully recovered from her illness and died in Hamilton on 7th June 1923 suffering from phthisis (tuberculosis). She was aged 46 years, and was buried at the Hamilton East Cemetery. "Obituary Sister Phoebe Reynolds, a member of an early contingent of nurses sent to serve abroad during the war, died at Hamilton Hospital on June 6th. She had been a patient, first at Otaki Hospital, afterwards in her sister's home at Hamilton, and latterly in the Hamilton Hospital, ever since her return from active service in 1917. During all this long time her unfailing patience in suffering and her bright and happy disposition made those around her love her dearly, and not least the nurses who attended on her. Her illness first came on with a haemorrhage during one of the big convoys of wounded received from France at Walton, when all hands were badly needed, and she would not report her illness, as she knew she would be sent off duty. Just as her influence among other nurses was an inspiration and an example of self-sacrifice and devotion during the war, so her two years of sickness at the Hamilton Hospital cannot fail to impress the young girls training there with the truest spirit of nursing. Almost one of her last thoughts were of those who were sitting for the final State examination, and she asked how they were getting on, and a few hours later quietly passed away, her sister being with her to the last."
