About Ettie Rout
Ettie Annie Rout was a Tasmanian-born New Zealander whose work among servicemen in Paris and the Somme during World War I made her a war hero among the French, yet through the same events she became persona non grata in New Zealand. She married Frederick Hornibrook on 3 May 1920, after which she was Ettie Hornibrook. They had no children and later separated. She died in 1936, and was buried in the Cook Islands. During the Gallipoli campaign, she founded the New Zealand Volunteer Sisterhood, a volunteer nursing group, for women between the ages of 30 and 50.
