Early lifeBicknell was born in Abbotsford, Victoria, Australia in 1879, the seventh of twelve children of Eliza and John Bicknell.[2] She initially learnt dressmaking, but later decided to train as a nurse. She trained at Mooroopna Hospital and worked at the Women’s Hospital.[2] CareerBicknell opened her own private hospital at Bairnsdale and nursed there for eight years.[2] In April 1915 she enlisted in the Australian Army Nursing Service and embarked for Egypt on the Kyarra. She was stationed at Heliopolis, Cairo at the No.1 Australian General Hospital.[3] DeathBicknell sustained a scratch on her hand while nursing wounded soldiers, and developed pyaemia, a type of infection.[2][4] She was ill for about six days, and died on 25 June 1915.[1][2] Before she died, it was reported that she said: "How hard it is to die with so little accomplished, but I would go through it all again to help."[4] Bicknell is buried in the Cairo War Memorial Cemetery.[5] She is remembered on the Bairnsdale Shire honour roll and on a memorial to overseas nurses who died in World War I at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in London.[2] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/ww1/2015/06/29/first-death-of-an-australian-nurse/|title=First death of an Australian nurse {{!}} Queensland's World War 1 Centenary|website=blogs.slq.qld.gov.au|access-date=2016-09-24}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bicknell, Louisa}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite web|url=http://www.theirdutydone.com/bicknell%20louisa%20annie.htm|title=Their Duty Done|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=24 September 2016}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://nurses.ww1anzac.com/bi.html|title=Bi|website=Australian Nurses in World War 1|access-date=2016-09-24}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://soldieringinegypt.com/2015/11/24/staff-nurse-louisa-bicknell-as-brave-as-any-fighting-soldier/|title=Staff Nurse Louisa Bicknell ‘As brave as any fighting soldier’|last=Shepherd|first=Sarah|date=2015-11-24|website=Soldiering In Egypt|access-date=2016-09-24}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.awm.gov.au/people/rolls/R1658409/|title=Roll of Honour: Louisa Annie Bicknell {{!}} Australian War Memorial|website=www.awm.gov.au|access-date=2016-09-24}} 6 : 1879 births|1915 deaths|Australian nurses|Female nurses in World War I|Nurses killed in World War I|People from Melbourne |
