Oh, Oh, Oh, It’s a Lovely War: Gladys Matheson’s Memories as a Nursing Sister

 

Preserved at the Provincial Archives are wartime records created by Gladys Matheson, a Nursing Sister with the Canadian Army Medical Corps (CAMC) during the First World War. The exhibit “Oh, Oh, Oh, It’s a Lovely War: Gladys Matheson’s Memories as a Nursing Sister” shares a selection of these wartime records including photographs, diary entries, autograph book sketches, and sound recordings. The exhibit can be viewed in-person at the Provincial Archives’ Reading Room located in Regina at 2440 Broad Street.
