Label TextThis helmet was worn by a First World War Medic. Donor Mary Kay was a nurse clinician with a background in education and teaching. She was hired on a two-year (1991 and 1992) contract with a number of other nurses to manage the move of veterans from the Psychiatric Institute to Parkwood Hospital. Her task was to prepare profiles of each veteran and help nurses understand the care each person required. The move happened gradually and in three stages. The first group were healthy. They were introduced to the new facility before the move and when they were bussed over, there was a bit of a ceremony to mark the occasion. Those with some health issues were moved in the second batch and the most severely ill were moved in the third
