Malvine Florence Wellisch was born in 1885 in Sydney, New South Wales, the daughter of Austrian born migrant Mr. Albert L. Wellisch and Kate Sophia Wellisch (nee Moody). She was also the sister of the late Sergeant Frederick Wellisch (service number 254) who was killed at the Dardanelles on 26 April 1915 and Captain Dr. Gilbert Cherrington Wellisch of the Australian Army Medical Corps during the First World War. At the time, the family were living at 'Killetra', Kent Street, Epping.
Malvine was part of the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve in England.
After the war, she married Englishman Percy Douglas Abbott on 12 July 1918 in Calcutta, India and they settled in England like her brother Dr. Gilbert Wellisch, who changed his surname by deed poll.
In 1972, Malvine Abbott passed away in Bucklow, Cheshire, England, aged 87.
