Julia Ashbourne Herbert was born at Brighton on 26 Mar 1881, the daughter of F A Herbert. She trained as a nurse at King's College Hospital, and in 1912, joined the Territorial Force Nursing Service (TFNS). At the outbreak of World War One, Herbert was employed at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn Rd, London. In August 1914, she joined her TFNS unit - the 4th Northern General Hospital, Lincoln, where she worked until Mar 1917. In 1917 Herbert volunteered for service in the field and was posted to the No.35 General Hospital at Calais, France, from Mar 1917-Aug 1918, then to the No1 Casualty Clearing Station near Arras and Mons, until demobilised, Mar 1919.
