NURSE HEROINES . The Grev Battalion. By May Tilton. Angus and Robertson Ltd. (6/- net.) i Miss Tilton ts an Australian •■> nursing sister, who served with the Australians through the war. I Taken from a diary faithfully kept from 1915, when she joined, to the end of the war, the story that the ' author lolls is a fine record of the 3 brave endurance of the nursing "battalions" and shows the war ' from a new angle—that of the on- . lookers who were closest to the - suffering, the misery, and the 1 sacrifices. Sister Tilton's own t character shines unconsciously 1 through the narrative. The un--1 selfish, uncomplaining spirit with " which the sisters and nurses bore * their share of the burden tries to • hide itself" behind the account of : the heroism and humour of the fighting troops whom they served '' so well. The amazing spirit that J lent endurance to feminine bodies shows through pages not meant to t disclose it. For the nurses gloried i ir. the opportunity for selfless scr- - vice. Sister Tilton. herself torn with anxiety for brothers. near relatives, and her fiancee, who was I killed, was but one of a gallant band, most of whom suffered permanent injury to their health from the hardships they bore. She not [ only nursed the men who had come . out" of the hell of battle, but was i friend, mother, and comforter to them all. On several occasions she . was under fire herself when several nursing sisters were killed by enemy ' shells. It is a book that deserves to ■ endure as an inspiration and as a warning.

Bealey avenue, last night, in honour of Miss Joy Machin. who-e marriage will take place on April :>.
