WORK IN EGYPT
YAV.C.A. SECRETARY NURSES WITH THE FORCES The Young Women’s Christian Association, which has over 100 centres in Britain for Service women, mili- i I tary nurses, land girls, and other wo- j men war workers, is now starting | similar work in the Middle East for ' the British and Dominion nurses who are with the British forces there. This is the result of a report from Miss Jean Begg, who has been for many years the Y.W.C.A. general sec- ' retary in India. The association asked her to go to Egypt this autumn and make a survey of the work that should be done there. ! At short notice she flew to Cairo, : and has been sending cablegrams giv- ! ing a vivid picture of what is wanted, i At present the chief need is for new j centres for rest and recreation and ; i temporary lodging for nurses tra- 1 j veiling to their posts, j One club has already been opened j •on the Suez Canal, and three huts, i | costing about EIOOU each, are to be ! - built as soon as possible at the desert i j camps. The Cairo Y.W.C.A. holiday 1 | rest camp near the Pyramids is to I be re-opened for the use of nurses on 1 leave. « 1 i
