Thought this lady deserved a post to herself. I believe this is my great aunt Ellen, my maternal grandfather’s sister. She was a district nurse, and was killed in a head-on collision with a police car travelling on the wrong side of the road. Her husband tried to throw himself in front of her to save her before the impact, but by horrible fate, he survived. Turned out a senior officer was late for a function and told his driver to overtake another vehicle. There is a street named after her now.
