Daughter of William Edward GILES and Honoria nee BRADY
Resigned appointment in England 21 February 1918 due to marriage
Married Norman M BOYCE in 1918
A recent letter from the front states that Nurse ("Queenie") Giles, formerly on the Government nursing staff in W.A., has been married in France to a captain in the R.A.M.C, but the writer forgot to give his patronymic, although mentioning that his family live in Ireland. The captain has been on service from the beginning of the war, while Nurse Giles joined up with the Australian forces a year or so ago. Her sister. Miss M. A. Giles, was on the telephone staff at Kalgoorlie and Perth, but obtained a transfer to Adelaide, her father being Mr. Wm. Giles,of "Delanoë," Norwood.
