South African Staff Nurse (Lieutenant) Daphne Emslie Wilmot Dennyssen was servng at 107 S.A. General Hospital in Italy, 1944 when this photo was taken. I had the great pleasure of meeting this totally amazing, wonderful and very humble Lady.

Her elder Brother Bombardier Daniel Arthur Dennyssen was serving in Italy with the 1/6 Field Regiment when he was Killed in Action on 04 July 1944 after stepping on a German landmine while assisting to prepare a Medium Gun Position during operations between Lucignano and Calcione.

Her twin Brother Dennis was a Telegraphist serving in the South African Navy aboard the Coastal Minesweepers on the Indian Ocean Station operating out of the Port of Durban.
