Years ago my father told me that "Aunt Winifred was at Gallipoli with Bladen. She met a British officer there and later married him". Until I saw these Weekly Courier photos I had no evidence of this. The British officer was Edric Sidney Williams-Ellis - he died in 1934.
She apparently adopted "de Mercier" from her mother (Margaret Elizabeth Mercer) ancestor Count de Mercier. My grand father Bladen Mercier Panton also had this name. Courtesy of Dean Panton Tasmania Weekly Courier 25 May 1915 |

A pretty wedding (writes a correspondent) was celebrated at St. Patrick's pro Cathedral, Fremantle, on May 13, when the Rev. Father Callani, O.M.I., united Lieutenant Ernest William Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris, of Rochester, New Jersey, U.S.A., attached to the 11th Battalion, A.I.F., and at one time of the 88th Perth Infantry of Commonwealth Military Forces, and Sister Patricia Parker, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Parker, of Fremantle. The bridegroom saw service in Gallipoli, and the bride was at one time on the staff of the Perth Public Hospital, and early in the war left for Egypt, where she served at several hospitals. She then proceeded to England, and later returned to Fremantle and was appointed to the staff of No. 8 Australian General Hospital.

SISTER PARRY
We are indebted to an admirer of the good work being done by Sister Parry, organiser of St. John's Ambulance Society, for the following interesting biographical notes:
Sister Parry, daughter of the late Dr. Parry, of Picton, was educated at Abbotsleigh School, and commenced her life work as a teacher, but soon left educational work for the nursing profession. Upon completion of her training at Prince Alfred Hospital, she left the hospital fully qualified as surgical and medical nurse, and was appointed school nurse, in which capacity she did good work until the war.Sister Parry volunteered for service with the A.I.F., and left with the first hospital units on S.S. Kyarra on November 1st, 1914. She served in Egypt and on hospital ships until her return to Australia. Shortly after she went to America to take a post-graduate course in a large hospital in California, and also a course in secretarial work. She was then appointed matron to an important sanitorium for tuberculosis in California, a modern establishment equipped and run upon the most scientific lines for the curing of patients in the early stages of the dread disease. This post she held until the outbreak of the great influenza epidemic, when she joined the Red Cross service in San Francisco and took charge of a nursing unit sent by the U.S.A. Government in the warship, Marblehead, to the Behrang Sea to succour the Esquimeaux and the few white people in Alaska, the Pribiloff and Aleutian Islands. The ravages of the epidemic were nowhere more awful than within the Arctic Circle, and for many months the cruiser sailed from island to island and from port to port, only to find over 90 per cent, of the adult natives and nearly all the white people dead or dying and without any medical aid whatever. All was done that was possible to assist the sufferers. The dead received decent burial, and the orphan children rescued in many cases from the roofs of the igloos, where they had taken refuse from the hungry wolves which were devouring the corpses of their parents. These poor waifs were collected in hundreds, and placed eventually in a special home prepared for them at Gillingham, where they are educated by the U.S.A. Government. It was often necessary to drive off the starving wolves by rifle fire before the landing parties could commence their rescue work. Returning to Sydney, Sister Parry was appointed secretary to the St. John Ambulance Society, and in addition to her secretarial duties is actively engaged in organising work, in which capacity die visits the country districts, where it is desired to form classes and establish branches of the society. She 'holds a certificate of Health Inspector under the Royal Sanitary Institute, and her wide knowledge and experience in ambulance work and nursing and her ability to interest her audience, and to infuse her enthusiasm into all who come into contact with her, are effecting good work in an excellent cause.

Shortly after she went to America to take a post-graduate course in a large hospital in California, and also a course in secretarial work. She was then appointed matron to an important sanitorium for tuberculosis in California, a modern establishment equipped and run upon the most scientific lines for the curing of patients in the early stages of the dread disease. This post she held until the outbreak of the great influenza epidemic, when she joined the Red Cross service in San Francisco and took charge of a nursing unit sent by the U.S.A. Government in the warship, Marblehead, to the Behrang Sea to succour the Esquimeaux and the few white people in Alaska, the Pribiloff and Aleutian Islands. The ravages of the epidemic were nowhere more awful than within the Arctic Circle, and for many months the cruiser sailed from island to island and from port to port, only to find over 90 per cent, of the adult natives and nearly all the white people dead or dying and without any medical aid whatever. All was done that was possible to assist the sufferers. The dead received decent burial, and the orphan children rescued in many cases from the roofs of the igloos, where they had taken refuse from the hungry wolves which were devouring the corpses of their parents. These poor waifs were collected in hundreds, and placed eventually in a special home prepared for them at Gillingham, where they are educated by the U.S.A. Government. It was often necessary to drive off the starving wolves by rifle fire before the landing parties could commence their rescue work. Returning to Sydney, Sister Parry was appointed secretary to the St. John Ambulance Society, and in addition to her secretarial duties is actively engaged in organising work, in which capacity die visits the country districts, where it is desired to form classes and establish branches of the society. She 'holds a certificate of Health Inspector under the Royal Sanitary Institute, and her wide knowledge and experience in ambulance work and nursing and her ability to interest her audience, and to infuse her enthusiasm into all who come into contact with her, are effecting good work in an excellent cause.

GOVERNOR HONORS ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION
Garden Party and Investiture
In the beautiful grounds of Government House, already allowing response to the loving and skilful care of Lady Game, the Governor on Thursday afternoon entertained the supporters of the St. John Ambulance Association and Brigade.

Sister Parry has held the position of Honorary Advisory Secretary and Organiser of the Auxiliary Committee since its inception, and to date has organised the Polo Week Hall, the Amazons Pictures, the First Aiders' Ball, the St. John Official Ball, and the Easter Ball, and various other functions.

Centre at the Third International Congress of Life Saving and First Aid at Amsterdam, the Royal Sanitary Institute Congress at London, and to study the various centres of the Association and Brigade in England.
In order lo be able to do this, she worked her passage to England in charge of an invalid and back to Australia as Welfare Matron in charge of immigrants, besides devoting the whole of her salary, as well as much of her own savings, for that period towards her expenses.
When a special Reception Committee was formed to receive and entertain the London Delegates, Sister Parry undertook the organising of the programme, which included a busy week of social functions, deputations, etc. She is at present organising a First Aid Drive for 1930.
Sister Parry is a returned army sister; she served in Egypt during the war. She also worked with the American Red Cross in San Francisco and Alaska during the flu epidemic in 1917.

Eunice Muriel Harriett Hunt Paten (1883-1973), nurse, was born on 13 June 1883 at Enoggera, Brisbane, daughter of English parents Jesse Paten, farmer, and his wife Eliza, née Hunt. Eunice was educated at the Misses Jardine's school, at Brisbane Girls' Grammar, and with her three sisters as a foundation pupil of Miss Fewings' Brisbane High School for Girls. She began nursing training at Brisbane Hospital in February 1905, topped her final year and graduated in 1908. She stayed on as a staff nurse for six months. Joining the Australian Army Nursing Service reserve, she nursed privately while saving for five years towards a midwifery course at the Women's Hospital, Melbourne. Eunice had just completed her midwifery training when war broke out. She volunteered for service abroad and sailed on 24 September 1914 with the 9th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force.
One of the first four Queensland nurses to go on active service, Sister Paten served in Alexandria, Cairo and the New Zealand Hospital at Pont De Koubbeh, Abbassia, then in the 1st Australian General Hospital treating the wounded from Gallipoli. As senior sister in charge of forty-five sisters and staff nurses, she sailed for England on 23 September 1915 and nursed at Queen Mary's Military Hospital, Whalley, where she and other Australian nurses disliked 'the poor-law training' of English nurses; she reputedly persuaded the doctors to allow Australian nurses to do all the dressings. She moved to the 3rd A.G.H. at Brighton, then in February 1917 as head sister to the 2nd Australian Auxiliary Hospital, Southall. Briefly acting matron, she became head sister at the 25th General Hospital at Hardelot, France, on 1 April 1918.
At the end of the war, Sister Paten was awarded the Royal Red Cross (2nd class). She returned to Australia as sister-in-charge of the invalid transport, Nestor. Quarantined at Lytton, Brisbane, during the influenza epidemic, she worked for the A.I.F. at Kangaroo Point Hospital until May 1919, then took her long leave. In 1920 she and an ex-A.I.F. friend Tessa Thomas opened Holyrood Private Hospital in Gregory Terrace; on Tessa's later remarriage Eunice bought out her share. Sturdy, of middle height, indomitable but kind, Matron Paten was a shrewd businesswoman with a nice sense of humour. She was a member of the Brisbane Women's and Lyceum clubs and enjoyed gardening. She closed Holyrood when her mother died in 1936.
Paten had been a fund-raiser for the Nurses' Rest Home, was a council-member of the Queensland branch, Australasian Trained Nurses' Association in 1920-48, and first nurse president in 1943-48 of the (Royal) Australian Nursing Federation. She joined the Queensland Bush Nursing Association in 1922, was honorary secretary in 1939-49 and treasurer later. She was a foundation member of the Queensland branches of the Florence Nightingale International Foundation, the Australian Aerial Medical Services, and the College of Nursing Australia (foundation honorary secretary, president (1959) and councillor till 1960).
In 1937 Matron Paten represented the 1st Military District in the A.A.N.S.'s coronation contingent in London, and was a delegate to the International Congress of Lyceum clubs and to the Congress of the International Council of Nurses, where she argued for Australia's admission. Having remained in the army reserve as principal matron, Northern Command, attached to the Military Hospital at Enoggera in 1924-41, she enlisted the first Queensland army sisters to go abroad in World War II. She became a foundation and executive member of the Centaur memorial fund for nurses.
Paten's appointment in 1959 as M.B.E. was associated with her work for the College of Nursing which honoured her with the Eunice Paten oration from 1970. She died on 1 February 1973 in the Repatriation General Hospital, Greenslopes, and was cremated with Presbyterian forms. She had not married.
