BRAVE ARMY NURSES
SYDNEY, Oct. B.’ The matron-in-chief of the Australian Army Nursing Service, Matron J. Sinclair Wood, has a tremendous admiration for army nurses. She said this on her arrival at an advanced Allied base on her first inspection tour of hospitals. “I Was in France and the Mediterranean in the last war,” she said. “The girls possibly worked harder then, but it was more like general hosDital work. Because of the wider use of aerial attack, nurses in this war are subject to far worse dangers. “I have travelled thousands of miles in Australia on inspectional tours, and have found a spirit of courage in pur nurses, almost as though thev were not aware of. danger. Nurses evacuated from Port Moresby are anxious to go back, and I will swear that if I called for volunteers from here to go to Port’ Moresby I would set a 100 per cent response.’’
