Richard Leech: Lord Ragland

Quotes 

• Lord Ragland : [reads aloud the General Orders of the day]  "Miss Nightingale is recognised by Her Majesty's Government as the General Superintendent of Nursing of all military hospitals of the Army. The principal medical officer will therefore communicate with her on all matters connected with that establishment, and will give, and receive orders only through that lady." Miss Nightingale, I believe this is also for you. This brooch was created in your honour by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. I've been asked to present it to you on her behalf. The inscription reads, "Blessed are the merciful".
