"Mrs. Tunstall was the first lady helper to arrive at Dimapur where she organised and ran the European Refugee Camp. In addition, she arranged a first-aid post and assisted in the nursing herself, which entailed long hours of night duty. She performed her duties with a cheerfulness and sympathy that earned the gratitude of all those passing through her camp, both European and Indian."
