WOMEN FOR EGYPT
Sir, —As I know from the experience of my own domestic circle, the V.A.D.'s, most of whom are working girls, mothers of families, and so on, are doing much more training than the 60-hours' nursing referred to in various letters. A V.A.D. in my own family (she works very hard for her living) has at least three evenings' training every week, and is now in her third year of training. This week she has four evening classes, and a parade at the week-end. And I can assure you she is no fool at her work, and could, I am certain, give most useful service to professional nurses in charge of hospitals. I should be sorry to see her go to the East. I've served there, and it's a dirty, smelly and unpleasant place. Finally, in our effort to win this war, there snould be co-operation and goodwill among the services, and not disunion and bickering. Digger, World War, 1 and 2.
