BAIRNSDALE NURSING SISTERS WELCOME HOME.
Last Wednesday afternoon Sister Agnes Jackson, who volunteered as a nurse on the outbreak of war, and who, for about fifteen months has been engaged in hospital work in Egypt, tending the sick and wounded Australians, returned home on furlough to recuperate, after having had an unusually trying time. There was a large gathering of friends and towns people at
the railway station to assist in the welcome, included among whom were the president and secretary of the
Red Cross Society, Mrs C. J. Alsop and Mrs T. Currey respectively, and members of that body and parents and
relatives and friends who had or have soldiers at the front. In the station yard the Bairnsdale State School
Band played patriotic music as the train drew into the platform, and the scholars of the school, in charge
of Mr J. Gerrard (head teacher) and his staff, fined themselves up to form a guard of honor. On alighting, Sister Jackson received a most hearty welcome, everyone desiring to shake hands with her
and personally thank her for the many acts of kindness she had done the Bairsdale boys with whom she
had come in, contact while abroad. On behalf of the mothers and relatives and friends, Mrs D. Collins and
Mrs N. O. Lawrance presented Sister Jackson with an autograph album and a purse of 14 sovereigns. The album, it was explained, contained the signatures of the mothers, relatives and friends of those at the front or rather that was the intention, but all had not had the opportunity of signing, and additional names would be added in the course of the next few days, while further contributions would also be made to the purse. Sister Jackson had expressed the wish that no money should be spent on her by her friends in expressing their goodwill, and it was decided to give her a purse of pocket money to spend as she deemed best on behalf of any soldiers requiring any comfort or help. Entering the motor car, Sister Jackson passed out of the station yard to the strains of patriotic airs played by the school band, while the track to the station gate was lined with flowers. Floral horse shoes and bouquets were piled into the car as it slowly threaded its way through the crowd to the gates. The following afternoon Sister Jackson was the guest of the Red Cross Society at a reception in the mechanics' hall, the interior of which and the tables were most artistically decorated. Mrs C. J. Alsop, the president, presided over a large attendance and opened the proceedings with a neat little speech, spoken most feelingly, to which Sister Jackson made a suitable reply, after being presented with a basket of roses by two daintily dressed little girls Phillis Alsop and Bettic McComas. A short musical programme was contributed by Miss Hylda Mosley, Mrs D. Collins, Miss Jesssie Nethercote (acting matron of the hospital), Miss Maude Odell (recently returned from West Australia), Miss H. Mason, Mr A. G. Davis, and Mr Trevoini. After refreshments had been served, the proceedings closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

LETTER FROM SISTER JACKSON
Sister Jackson formerly acting matron of the St Arnaud Hospital, writing from France to friends in St Arnaud says:- I intended writing long ago, but we have been so busy that there was no off duty time at all, and when we did get off the first thing I thought of was to go to bed, in case the next day would be worse, than the last. We were so tired we could hardly move, and it was not only admitting patients, getting them bathed, fed, and dressings done, but their kit would have to be got ready, and, when we were at our busiest, a notice would come round for an evacuation. We would get about ten minutes to have 15 stretcher cases ready, and every one must have tickets tied on to their coats, and numerous other notices to be sent, with name, rank, and regimental particulars to the various offices. Perhaps before they were out of the ward another would arrive. I often wondered there were not some bungles in the lists. There are some to be put on the dangerously ill lists, and twice a day the condition of each patient is sent to the office. Then after a convoy a Red Cross officer goes round to each patient, finding out any new to enable him to trace previously reported missing men. We are not quite so busy now, but have to work terribly hard to get things prepared . With the last convoy we took in quite a number of our boys-most of them N,S,W,- none that I knew, Of course you have heard that Hal.Young has been wounded again. He has had his share. He is expecting to be back again in about a fortnight. If he is sent to the base I shall see him again, as it is only about three miles away, but if he goes back to his company they will be down east of where Sister Pilkington is, I cannot mention names of places. I saw Major Duggan when at hospital, He is also down the line , where Hal will be going. Will Campbell(Sister Campbell's brother) is also there. We are having very nice weather in France at present. Of course it cannot come up to the Australian sunshine. We only get a few fine days, then more rain. We are only about 20 minutes walk from the each, but it is very dangerous, so we cannot indulge in the luxury of sea bathing, I am hoping to get leave at the end of September, and I hope Sister Pilkington and I can manage to go at the same time. I am hoping to visit Scotland, I would like to see Paris and Marseilles, Hope I have time ""appres la guerre." I would be very disappointed if I did not after spending so long in France.
Sister Jackson concludes with kindly reference to St Arnaud, and remembrances to friends.

NURSE IN THE DANGER ZONE
Miss Annie Jackson, who was trained as a nurse at the St Arnaud Hospital, at the close of 1915, while acting as matron, volunteered for service. Since then, save for one short furlough, she has been on duty in France. In a letter dated May 10 to a relative in Melbourne she says:-
“I am awfully pleased at having an opportunity to get so close up to the line, and to be in the danger zone. Our coming here had to be voluntary, and there are only four of us. Although we have plenty of hard work, I think we are all happy. I have seen guns, aeroplanes, tanks, and dugouts, and have visited several of the places the Huns thought their strong points, and from which they thought nothing would move them. Last night we had a Royal Flying Corps officer brought in. He had been fighting Boche planes, when one put a bullet through his engine. He fell 7,000 ft, and landed just near us. He was scratched and severely shaken, but no bones were broken. I told you before of a Boche plane coming over our camp, and firing down on us. We were all rather nervous then, but there was some excuse for our nervousness.”

SISTER A.C. JACKSON
Sister Jackson, formerly acting matron of the St Arnaud Hospital, who is attached to a Casualty Clearing Station in France, in a letter to a friend says:- The war still goes on and seems as if it is likely to. I am not going to try and tell you any news. You probably know just as much and more than we do. We get morning and evening communiques, but only for our army, so we never know what the others are doing, but we hope we are winning. The Hun airmen are have a very busy time, so, of course are ours. The air just hums day and night with planes. On two occasions they came over and bombed our Casualty Clearing Station, doing a good deal of damage. They wounded three sisters, one medical officer, and killed two me. On the second visit they killed three and wounded 16 patients. Our kitchen, pantry, and mess and their bell tents were blown about the first time, and as one might expect the staff were greatly frightened. Now we have six layers of sand bags round our bell tents, also a place built of sandbags, and known to everyone as the Sister's Funk Hole. Of course if we go there if we are off duty, and it is rather laughable. You see a searchlight go up, and then hear a hum, and immediately there is a run for cover. You feel exactly like a rabbit- just feel and wonder if you will be caught halfway. I am on night duty in the theatre, so we have no time for funk holes, and just carry on. They do not bomb us now, but all round about the camps, and our archies' anti aircraft nose caps and shrapnel fly in all directions, and you have to get out of their way. By the time this reaches you you will be having nice hot weather. Ours will be cold--oh, so cold. I just dread it

OBITUARY
Miss Ethel Jackson :
The death occurred recently at her home, Brushy Creek, of Miss Ethel Jackson, who was highly esteemed and widely known in Guyra district. The late Miss Jackson, who was a sister of Mrs. Harold Pearson of Yamba, Maule's Creek, was born at Bundarra fifty-nine years ago. When war broke out in 1914, she enlisted as one of the A.I.F.
