Scottish Women's Hospitals

The Scottish Women's Hospitals was founded in 1914. They provided nurses, doctors, ambulance drivers, cooks and orderlies. By the end of World War I 14 medical units had been outfitted and sent to serve in Corsica, France, Malta, Romania, Russia, Salonika and Serbia.
== Beginnings ==
At the outset of the war, Dr Elsie Maud Inglis was secretary for the Scottish Federation of Women Suffrage Societies, affiliated with the National Union for Women Suffrage Society (NUWSS) headed by Millicent Garrett Fawcett.〔Weiner, M-F. "The Scottish Women’s Hospital at Royaumont", J R Coll Physicians Edinb 2014; 44: 328–36〕 When war broke out in 1914 Elsie Maud Inglis one of the founders of the Scottish Women's Suffrage Federation, suggested that women's medical units should be allowed to serve on the Western Front to provide mobile hospital units for the wounded. Fawcett wished to include "Women's Suffrage" in the name, but Inglis opposed this on the grounds that "suffrage" had controversial political connotations based on the example of those who advocated civil disobedience such as Emmeline Pankhurst. While not all volunteers supported the suffrage movement, the letters "NUWSS" appeared on SWH letterhead and many of their vehicles and the French press often referred to their facilities as "Hospital of the Scottish Suffragists" and NUWSS provided financial support.〔
Initial fundraising was highly successfully and by the end of August 1914 they had raised more than five thousand pounds, a quite incredible sum. The SWH initially organized two units of 100 beds each to be entirely staffed by women. Inglis met with the War Office to offer the hospital to the British Army, but both the UK War Office and the British Red Cross turned down the offered units. "Go home and sit still, woman" had been the response but, undeterred, the hospital was offered to Britain’s allies. The first to accept were the French and Belgian Red Cross who were soon followed by the Serbians, glad to accept due to the dire conditions their soldiers were facing.
