GALLANT CONDUCT IN MIDDLE EAST
A.I.F. And N.Z. Nurses
(Received September 7, 7 p.m.)
CANBERRA, September 7.
A tribute to the work of the A.I.F. and New Zealand nurses in the Middle East was paid by the Australian Army Minister, Mr. Forde. “Their conduct in the most trying ordeals was an inspiration,” said the Minister, who declared that when the nurses were travelling to their evacuation point in Greece a lorry convoy was heavily bombed. One lorry was overturned four New Zealand nurses were severely injured. All the nurses took shelter in a nearby cemetery, where they crouched among the tombstones for the rest of the day.
