Soroptimist International Wakefield and District entered a scarecrow with a historical women theme to the 2024 Walton Scarecrow Festival\u00a0 which took place over the weekend of 14-15 September 2024. Local nurse Nellie Spindler is one of very few women who were killed in service on the frontline of WW1. Her full story is here on the Imperial War Museum website Staff Nurse Nellie Spindler And The Battle Of Passchendaele | IWM<\/a>. She was from Wakefield and is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Belgium, the only woman among more than 10,000 men. Her gravestone includes the inscription ‘A noble type of good heroic womanhood’. Her scarecrow was placed at 27a School Lane, Walton, just below the village hall and a short distance from our meeting place at St Pauls church. \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
