Anna Mela-Papadopoulou

Anna Mela-Papadopoulou (born 3 September 1871, in Marseilles – died 12 March 1938, in Athens) was a Greek volunteer nurse who became known by the name "The Soldier's Mother" for her activity by the side of the Greek Army during the wars of the decade 1912–1922. The honorary title "The Soldier's Mother" was also attributed, in later years, to other distinguished nurses of the Greek Red Cross as a medallion, to commemorate her.
