Details

Margaret (Mary) Willie Arvin ( April 21, 1879 – September 9, 1947) was a nurse from Henderson, Kentucky who served in the First World War in France at a British Army Hospital, and was one of the few women who was honored by all three of the major allied countries, France, Britain and the United States. Arvin was the most decorated Kentucky woman veteran serving in World War I. She was awarded the British Royal Red Cross (2nd Associate) Medal, the U. S. Army citation for exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous service (later exchanged for a Purple Heart), and the French Croix de guerre. Arvin was one of the first women to earn a Purple Heart. In 2006, Arvin was honored by the Kentucky Women Remembered and her portrait hangs in an exhibit at the Kentucky State Capital Rotunda.
