              <text>Growing up in Souris, Prince Edward Island, at the age of 34, Rena McLean was a trained nurse who applied to join the Army Medical Services. Upon medical examination, McLean was deemed healthy such that she did not present any of the causes of rejection specified in the Regulations for Army Medical Services, and was then thus enlisted on September 28th, 1914, to join the Canadian Army Medical Corp as a nursing sister. During her time within the Canadian Army Medical Corp, McLean had served first on the Royal Red Cross No. 2 Stationary Hospital, for which she was then transferred to work on the Hospital Ship Llandovery Castle. However, on June 27th, 1918, the Llandovery Castle had sunk, allowing officials to presume that McLean had drowned on or since this date. Despite this, McLean, along with many others have been commemorated at the Halifax memorial in Nova Scotia, Canada.  </text>
