Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of correspondence and miscellaneous cards. The letters are all personal, family letters the bulk of which are from friends and family members serving overseas in the Canadian forces, and in Queen's University Contingents, 1914-1918. Of particular interest are letters sent to Etta Newlands from "Harvey" and Sarah, young nursing sisters serving in Europe during the war at the No. 7 Canadian General Hospital in France, Salonica and Basingstoke. Part of the correspondence has to do with church and professional activities.
