Born near Dumfries, Scotland. The picture source explains that the bag was embroidered by a soldier patient c.1917 and that it depicts either Flora or her work and life partner Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson. They were buried together near their home in Penn, Buckingham, under the words "We have been gloriously happy".
Died at a nursing home in Belsize Park.
The "WHC" on the bag stands for Women's Hospital Corps, of which Louisa was Chief Surgeon.
