Hannath was a member of the Territorial Army Nursing Service and in 1914 she was appointed matron of the 5th Northern General Hospital, Leicester, which opened at Leicestershire & Rutland County Asylum (today the University of Leicester), but eventually expanded into other institutions.[6][1][7] She remained at the hospital between 1914-1919.
