Sussex 54 VAD - Chailey Branch
Next to nothing is known about this lady.  She appears in the photo above, seated third from left.  Her (heavily over-written) signature appears in Nurse Oliver's album on the page devoted to Sussex 54 VAD.  An undated and so far unattributable newspaper report, probably from 1914, also refers to her as assistant quartermaster.
Assistant Quartermaster A Gander, Sussex 54 VAD

She also appears, second from left in the main photo on the Sussex 54 VAD Personnel page (HERE) which is taken from one of Frances Blencowe's albums. Finally, she appears again in Nurse Oliver's album (left), staring at a pile of wood.  The photo was probably taken at a Field Day in 1913 or 1914.  "A Gander perplexed" is the caption that Edith Oliver had written to accompany the photo. Nothing else is currently known about this woman.
