Analysis

It is pretty conclusive from the above "Sister Dickson" is in fact Mrs. William Makin Thomas, former matron of the Coast Hospital. But... is she really the Sister Clarice Molyneux Dickson, who received her training at the Coast Hospital, Little Bay? MODCHK (talk) 08:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC) No, she is not. CM Dickson only completed her training at Coast Hospital in April 1913. She was matron of Coast Hospital in 1937.
