Biographical notes:

Elisabeth Leonhardt served in the Navy Nurse Corps in the early 20th century. In 1919, she held an appointment as Chief Nurse, USN and was assigned to the Naval Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. She was detached from service in Norfolk for several months in 1920. During this time she was on temporary duty onboard USS Mercy for a voyage from New York to San Francisco. Having left Norfolk on 21 May 1920, she returned on 18 July and resumed her previous duties. In September 1922, Leonhardt was ordered to the Naval Hospital in Puget Sound, Washington, to assume the post of Principal Chief Nurse. She held this position through 1926, when this collection ends.
