Geneviève Hennet de Goutel (1885 – 1917) was a French nurse who served during the First World War.
Her maternal family was from Arles, France. She was born in Paris and was active in Saint-Germain-des-Près in Paris. Upon the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, she decided to join the French Red Cross and become a nurse at 29 years old. [1]
From September to October 1916 she directed an auxiliary hospital, before joining a medical mission to Bucharest, where she trained Romanian nurses and wrote a manual for future nurses. [1]
Upon the German army's advances upon Bucharest in December 1916, the mission relocated to Jassy ( Iași) where the nurses operated a makeshift field hospital at an abandoned villa, Greierul. [2] She contracted typhus due to direct contact with contagious patients. After a month-long illness, she died in March 1917. [1] Marie of Romania reportedly visited her often during her illness. [1]
Shortly after her death, sections of her wartime correspondence was published in the Bulletin de la Croix-Rouge. [2]
In 2017, her war diary and letters were compiled by Roxana Eminescu and published. [2]
She received the Croix de guerre, Médaille d'honneur des épidémies (Medal of Honor of the epidemics) and the Croix de la Reine Marie (Romania) in recognition of her service. [1]
She was buried at the Montparnasse Cemetery. [1]
