Keen disappointment was felt by some ■of the members that their services were not required for the Expeditionary Force, but they were urged by' the lady superintendent, Mrs. Preston, to remember they were ambulance nurses, and not hospital nurses, and that thero was no reason why, with tile training they had received, the.v could not become very efficient and do good servico, when occasion arose, it was, the amount of sewing. done by members and their friends for the Expeditionary Force was beyond calculation. A good sumVas collected in the room for the equipment of ambulance panniers for the Force by the division. Among those who offered.to servo, as .ambulance nursing sisters were/'Mrs," J: "P. Luke and Miss Luke. - . |
