Ettie Annie Rout (later Ettie Annie Hornibrook) (1877- 1936) was a Tasmanian-born New Zealander whose work among servicemen in Paris and the Somme made her a war hero among the French. Ettie Rout arrived in Egypt in 1916, and immediately became aware of the soldiers high venereal disease rate.

By June 1917, having realised the venereal disease problem Ettie Annie Rout (later Ettie Annie Hornibrook) (1877- 1936) was a Tasmanian-born New Zealander whose work among servicemen in Paris and the Somme made her a war hero among the French. Ettie Rout arrived in Egypt in 1916, and immediately became aware of the soldiers high venereal disease rate. She saw this as a medical not a moral problem; one which should be approached like any other disease - with all available preventive measures. By June 1917, having realised the venereal disease problem was still very bad and that the New Zealand Medical Corps had not adopted prophylactic measures, she went to London to push it into doing so. In April 1918 she went to Paris where she set up a one-woman social and sexual welfare service for soldiers. For her work in Paris and in Villers Brettoneux the French decorated her with the Reconnaissance francaise medal. Similar ironies were found overseas - her 1922 book, Safe Marriage: A Return to Sanity, was banned in New Zealand, but published in both Australia and Britain. In the latter, it was a bestseller.
