Oldham nurse featured at International Women s Day 2021 Date published: 02 March 2021
Oldham nurse Sarah Hallam
A fascinating talk about an Oldham nurse who was prepared to stand up and challenge the norm is one of the events being held to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8.
Following the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 Sarah Hallam volunteered to go to Brussels, to help wounded Belgian soldiers.
Whilst Sarah was in Brussels the Germans occupied the city and after spending two months there, she was forced to leave and return to Oldham.
However, being the woman that she was, Sarah was not content to sit out the war at home.
