Title
Elizabeth McWilliams of Summerville, N.J. She sailed from New York in October as a Red Cross nurse's aid and died of pneumonia just as the ship reached the British port. She is buried not far from Red Cross Headquarters in London. There was an outbreak of influenza on the ship in which Miss McWilliams sailed. She worked hard all the first day scrubbing out the influenza-infected baggage room to provide a temporary hospital. That night she worked as an emergency cook for three hours and then until midnight wrote letters for the influenza patients. Next morning she was herself stricken. Her last words were "I am happy because I've tried to be a real American. Miss Alice Fleenor of San Francisco who was one of her closest friends on board ship, writes: "We who knew her, know how much of inspiration we derived from her unselfish sacrifice and devotion. Two hundred Red Cross people started their service in Europe with a new reverence, a new resolve to carry higher the spirit of the RC in memory of the young girl who served for one day as a real American source: https://www.loc.gov/resource/anrc.10211/ Created / Published [ca. 1918] Subject Headings - American Red Cross - England--London Headings Glass negatives.

Pieter Mast werd geboren in het Friese Aengwirden op 19 januari 1894. Na de gemeentelijke herindeling in 1934 is Aengwirden samen met de gemeente Schoterland en een deel van de gemeente Haskerland opgegaan in de nieuwe gemeente Heerenveen. In 1914 werd hij ‘gewoon’ dienstplichtig soldaat gelegerd te Assen. Na het einde van de mobilisatie verhuisde hij naar Tilburg, waar hij zoals gezegd politieagent werd.
Pieter Mast huwde in Tilburg met de katholieke Josephina M.C. van de Wouw (1890-1940). Het woonadres was Kruistsraat 61. Drie kinderen werden geboren.
