Nurse Maule leaves Abertay University with a medical mystery
ByThe Courier Reporter
Nurse Maule.
A battered old suitcase which gives an insight into the life of a First World War nurse has been found at the back of a cupboard at Abertay University.
Staff found the case, which belonged to a nurse called Margaret Maule, from Paisley, in the institution’s psychology department.
It was filled with memorabilia from the war. Among the papers and photos is an article Nurse Maule wrote for DC Thomson’s People’s Journal in 1940 and which is available to view in the ‘downloads’ section of this page.
The university says how the luggage case came to be there is a “complete mystery” as there are no records linking the woman to Abertay.
Staff are now appealing for the public’s help in shedding more light on Ms Maule’s life.
