Associate Royal Red Cross

BELDEN, Edna Louise, N/S, RCN (Temp)

Issued: 8-Jan-1944, Canada Gazette

"On February 13, 1943, through the physical danger of blinding snowstorms (during which one plane was lost), Nursing Sister Belden accompanied from St. John's Newfoundland to Toronto, Ontario, two critically burned cases, and two who were helpless, with head and hand burns. Throughout the five days of the trip, originally planned to be a few hours, she showed great nursing skills, resourcefulness in meeting the contingencies of the delays and changes in transportation, devotion to duty and exemplary cheerfulness."
