Miss Ethel Mabel Dutton was born at Surbiton, Surrey, on 2 November 1867 and served with the Army Nursing Service Reserve during the Boer War in South Africa as a Nursing Sister at 3 General Hospital, Kroonstad.

Upon the outbreak of the Great War the British Red Cross archives show her as being part of the Cheshire 16/16 V.A., having engaged in October 1914, and the summary of her service shows ‘six weeks hospital duty, secretarial work at Richmond House Military Hospital, Chester and Hoole.’ She subsequently served with the British Committee of the French Red Cross during the Great War in the Greek Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria and European Turkey theatre of War from June 1915 as part of the Wounded Allies Relief Committee, and is recorded as having been taken prisoner by the Bulgarians. Released, she returned to England in February 1916. She died at St. Lawrence, Isle of Wight, on 31 December 1945.
