Florence Nightingale, founder of the first school of nurses, nursing reformer, missionary, saved soldiers during the Crimean War of 1853-1856. She was called the Lady with the Lamp because she went around the wounded with a lamp in her hand.

Before being sold at auction, these items were kept by the descendants of his sister Frances. Now they have been acquired by a private buyer, whose name has not been disclosed.

It was previously reported that late Beatles member John Lennon’s glasses are to be auctioned in the UK.
