Mary Helen Rae (29 September 1880 – 23 October 1915) was a New Zealand nurse who served in World War I and died when the SS Marquette was torpedoed and sunk in 1915.[1][2]

Early life

Rae was born at Raes' Junction, near Dunedin, on 29 September 1880 and trained at Dunedin Public Hospital.[3][4]

Career

In April 1915, Rae enlisted in the New Zealand Army Nursing Service and left Wellington on board the SS Maheno in July that year. The ship sailed to Suez, Egypt, and the contingent of nurses worked in a stationary hospital at Port Said. In October 1915 Rae was on board the SS Marquette when it was torpedoed by a German submarine and sunk.

Recognition

Two years after her death, the Otago Nurses' Association created the New Zealand Nurses' Memorial Fund in memorial to Rae and fellow Otago Marquette victim, Lorna Rattray. Donations from the medical community in Dunedin started the fund, which aimed to be a practical fund of "people helping people". Most grants are given to retired nurses who are struggling financially.[4]

Rae is named on the Mikra British Cemetery in Greece and in the Nurses' Memorial Chapel at Christchurch Hospital.[5] She is also remembered in the Five Sisters Window at York Minster in York, England.
