Each page of the typescript is on one side of a separate leaf. Divided into six stapled sections (each with its own manuscript title-page not included in pagination), as follows: '"The Emergency" and "Phoney War"' [22 August 1939 to 31 May 1940], 28pp.; '"Beechwood 1940" Dunkirk & Battle of Britain' [17 May to 5 October 1940], 31pp.; 'Blitz (1940)' [6 October to 31 December 1940], 23pp.; '"Beechwood & Blitz" [1 January to 31 October 1941], 32pp.; 'Central Hospital in Battledress' [31 October 1941 to 31 March 1942], 18pp.; 'Bradford Royal Infirmary & Basingstoke & Trip to Devon (section)' [May 1943 to 2 August 1943], 27pp. Marginal autograph notes throughout (especially earlier sections), with one of these initialled 'K ', presumably indicating a change of surname through marriage. A missing section, dating from between April 1942 and April 1943, is referred to in an autograph note at the end of the fifth section: 'There is a gap here for "Golden Meadows" | I will send it later'. The transcriptions of the letters and diaries in the typescript were made in the early nineteen-seventies: the third section is preceded by a typewritten 'Note 1970', and the text of the second section contains a passage said to be 'appended in 1973'. The Imperial War Museum possesses a copy of the present typescript, including two missing parts (April 1942 to April 1943, and August 1943 to the end of the war). An extract was published in Richard Aldrich's 'Witness to War: Diaries of the Second World War in Europe and the Middle East' (Random House, 2014). The author comes from a comfortable middle-class background (her mother's London house is in the exclusive Eaton Square, and she is clearly a relation of the Earl of Mulgrave and Marquess of Normanby), and her account of her wartime experiences is vivid, entertaining, percipient and unusually well-written. Of particular interest are her descriptions of the conditions of her patients. She begins on the eve of the war - having recently returned from a short time living in Canada - criticising Chamberlain and hoping for service overseas. She begins as a Red Cross nurse at a First Aid Post in Westminster, and as a probationer nurse at the Preliminary Training School for Nurses at University College Hospital (August 1939 - May 1940). She then moves to the Emergency Medical Service Hospital Ashridge, Hertfordshire (May 1940 - October 1941), and again at University College Hospital (October 1941 - March 1942). (The account should continue here, according to the IWM entry on its copy, with Phipps's dismissal, and subsequent nervous breakdown, followed by time as warden of a Women's Land Army Hostel near Baldock, Hertfordshire.) The present copy ends with an account of Phipps's time at Bradford Royal Infirmary, including two of her poems, the second titled 'Desert Victory'. (After which the text should end, again according to the entry on the IMW copy, with Phipps's participation in the 'Maple Leaf' lecture tour of Devon, speaking about Canada, and posts as an Assistant Nurse at First Aid Posts in factories in Staffordshire and Yorkshire, and at Driffield EMS Hospital, Yorkshire.) A few examples indicate the tone of the diary. A 'Late Note Extra. discovered among papers, and undated', begins: 'Yesterday I arrived at Mulgrave, beautiful weather, lovely food! Was astounded to see in the Library sitting in the fireplace, one of the new incendiary bombs, obviously unexploded. When I asked mother how it got there she said it was her very special souvenir of a recent raid. She obviously had no idea how dangerous such things can nbe, and when I said I'd hand it in for her, she got quite angry. So I bided my time, and when nobody was around picked it up gingerly and carried it somewhat nervously I will admit to the village. At the door of the Vicarag.

Red Cross service photographs by notable Clearwater photographer George Fulmer recording volunteer nursing instruction, clinic intake, fundraising, and civic ceremony in Clearwater, Florida, 1951-1952, with primary source images of the care and volunteer infrastructure that accompanied postwar Sunbelt growth. Fulmer, a Clearwater native, served as a U.S. Navy photographer during World War II and later operated Fulmer Photo Service in the city for decades. Clearwater's midcentury growth fused tourism, real estate development, wartime carryover, and rapid community expansion on Florida's Gulf Coast is shown throughout Fulmer's work, and this collection depicts some of the local service institutions and their part in daily life as the Sunbelt underwent this rapid change. Photo archive of 81 items including 40 silver gelatin prints and 41 large format photo negatives, each approximately 3 x 5 inches, comprised of some unique and some duplicate images, Clearwater, Florida, 1951-1952. The photographs center on Red Cross women in uniform, nurses, civic officials, and local participants gathered in training rooms, meeting halls, offices, porches, clinic interiors, and outdoor demonstration spaces. Several photographs show rows of women seated or standing behind tables stacked with Red Cross portfolios marked by large crosses; others record first aid instruction with a body positioned on the floor before seated observers, a nurse holding a small child near a display table, and a formal group around a handshake presentation in front of American flags and Red Cross signage. Additional scenes show a child seated beneath a wall-hung cross during class activity, women sorting dolls, clothing, and relief goods at worktables, a nurse or intake worker writing beneath a visible "Blue Cross Subscribers" sign, a physician or examiner inspecting a man's throat before shelves of medical supplies, and home-visit style interiors where a seated woman presents a doll while speaking with another woman on a couch. Group portraits of Red Cross women at banquet tables and posed staff views extend the archive from public instruction into the social organization of volunteer service. The surviving negative sleeves carry manuscript dates in 1951 and 1952 and repeated identifications including "Red Cross," "Red Cross class," and nurse-related subjects, preserving original working captions and sequence evidence from Fulmer's studio handling. Photo studio envelope captions date and locate many of the images, as well as some handwritten notes which identify individuals. The American Red Cross nursing and home-nursing programs had long linked professional care with trained civilian volunteers, and in the postwar United States that model remained central to local health education and emergency readiness. These photos document both a national volunteer infrastructure mobilizing for the Korean conflict, and a small Gulf Coast city in the early phase of the demographic and commercial transformation that would reshape the lower South across the second half of the twentieth century. Clearwater's municipal planning records trace steep population growth after 1950 and the outward movement of commerce and residential life during precisely the years Fulmer was working; his photographs place women's voluntary labor, public health instruction, civic fundraising, and institutional ceremony alongside the development of the sunbelt. George Fulmer's sustained authorship gives the group cohesion as a single-photographer documentary body, while the surviving job envelopes, dated negatives, and alternate frames offer the kind of working-process evidence. Some prints duplicate or nearly duplicate other views, two negatives in poor condition; prints generally clean and very well preserved, with many negatives preserving unique images. Overall very good condition.
