History
The Fund was founded in 1946 to provide a worthy memorial to the nurses, midwives, and auxiliaries of the British Commonwealth who died in the Second World War. The memorial consists of a Nurses' Chapel in Westminster Abbey and a trust fund which awards postgraduate travelling scholarships to nurses and midwives of the Commonwealth.
