Ethel's parents are James Jackson & Marjory Cameron who were sheep breeders/farmers at Brushy Creek near Guyra in New South Wales. Prior to enlisting in WW1 Ethel was Matron at Lady Musgrave Hospital in Maryborough, Queensland, a lying-in hospital for women (see photo in gallery). The cropped photo added by Faithe was cropped from a group photo that appeared in The Queensland on 06 JUL 1918 on Page 28 and also added to http:ausww1nurses.weebly.comja.html site, original was taken at the No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital which was previously known as Harefield Park House and it's use donated by ex-pat Australian, Charles Billyard-Leake for sick & wounded Australian soldiers. Ethel's service records do not show where she served but an article in the Sydney Morning Herald 06 Mar 1919 Page 6 re the return to Australia on board "City of York" states Ethel worked in England, at least some of this service was at No. 1 AAH (see photos). Ethel died at her brother, Alec Stanley's home at Brushy Creek & were buried in Ollera Private Cemetery where her parents & many family members are also buried. The family were Presbyterians & attended St Columba's in Guyra, Ethel & Alec's name appear on the WW1 Memorial there (their Mother laid the church's foundation stone in 1926), I am unsure if the other 2 Jacksons listed there are related yet.
