Head Sister Boissier, late of the Fifth Stationary Hospital at Dieppe, has returned to Australia for family reasons, wearing on her breast the order of the Royal Red Cross. Sister Boissier, who accompanied the contingent of wounded and invalided which landed on Sunday, formerly resided in Goulburn. Her mother died a few days ago. Sister Boissier left with the first draft of nurses for the front, and first went to Egypt, where she served to begin with at Meena Hospital. She is a sister from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, but before leaving for active service with the military, was matron of Manly Hospital, and was one of the first two dozen who volunteered as army nurses. After serving for a few months at Mena she transferred to Ghreahre, where she gained her first experience with Australian wounded with men who came back from the landing at Anzac Beach on April 25, 1915. The first contingent of men reached Ghezirch on May 3 of that year, and from that time onward the staff had its hands full. Here she won the decoration of the Royal Red Cross; her name appeared amongst those who were so decorated when the King's Birthday honours were announced that year. In September, 1915, she left Egypt for England, and was attached to the Fourth London General Hospital. Staying there for nine months, she went in September, 1910, to France, where she served in the Second Australian General Hospital at Wimereux as head sister. Then she went to No. 5 Stationary Hospital at Dieppe, and remained there as matron. After three years' absence from Australia she is glad to he home again. "I can tell you none of us slept much last night," she said on Sunday."We were looking out through the port holes for the first glimpses of the city of dear old Sydney, which after all for us Australians is the best place in all the world. And now we are home again." Her father, Mr. E. Boissier, was with her, and observed that a spray or two of flowers which she was wearing concealed the ribbon of her decoration, but she remarked that the ribbon would last, whilst the flowers would fade in a day.

The new matron of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital is Miss Phyllis Boissier. She was trained in the hospital that she now takes as matron, that was before it assumed its present formidable dimensions. Miss Boissier has the Royal Red Cross as an ornament, and has been through Egypt and France as a war nurse and matron, taking an important duty. At one time she was matron of Manly Hospital and managed it until war broke out, and she went with the first troops to Egypt. She afterwards gave good service in London in the 4th General Hospital. Now she has undertaken the difficult task of being matron in a Sydney hospital of city like dimensions.

War Nurses' Hostel
AFTER a long friendship which began in the Perth Hospital before the last war, two returned army nurses have undertaken positions as Matron and Assistant Matron of the War Nurses' Hostel. They are Sister Isabel T Borwick and Sister Kathleen Ryan. Sister Borwick left Australia in May. 1915, and for four years served in an Australian nursing division in the Middle East, where she received the Royal Red Cross award. On her return to Australia she joined the Child Welfare Department, and was matron of the Receiving Home at Mt. Lawley for 15 years. Sister Borwick, from her wide experience of nurses' hostels, has stressed the fact that nurses living on the premises will not be pestered by a lot of rules and regulations. It will be a home for those returning from war service, those in Perth waiting to be transferred, and nurses on leave from military hospitals or camps.
The Daily News Perth Saturday 21 February 1942 page 21
Sister Borwick, who is matron of the hostel, is well known to the nursing fraternity in this State. She served in the Great War from 1915-1918, beginning her war service as a sister at the Base Hospital, Fremantle. Going to Egypt in 1916 Sister Borwick served at the 14th Australian General Hospital, Abbassia, in Cairo after which she went to a hospital at Port Said for 12 months.
The Royal Red Cross, which is the highest award given to army nurses,was awarded to Sister Borwick for her services, and she is one of the very few in this State to receive it. Her decoration was given her by Field Marshal Lord Birdwood when he paid his first visit to Australia in 1919.

AFTER a long friendship which began in the Perth Hospital before the last war, two returned army nurses have undertaken positions as Matron and Assistant Matron of the War Nurses' Hostel. They are Sister Isabel T Borwick and Sister Kathleen Ryan. Sister Borwick left Australia in May. 1915, and for four years served in an Australian nursing division in the Middle East, where she received the Royal Red Cross award. On her return to Australia she joined the Child Welfare Department, and was matron of the Receiving Home at Mt. Lawley for 15 years. Sister Borwick, from her wide experience of nurses' hostels, has stressed the fact that nurses living on the premises will not be pestered by a lot of rules and regulations. It will be a home for those returning from war service, those in Perth waiting to be transferred, and nurses on leave from military hospitals or camps.
The Daily News Perth Saturday 21 February 1942 page 21
Sister Borwick, who is matron of the hostel, is well known to the nursing fraternity in this State. She served in the Great War from 1915-1918, beginning her war service as a sister at the Base Hospital, Fremantle. Going to Egypt in 1916 Sister Borwick served at the 14th Australian General Hospital, Abbassia, in Cairo after which she went to a hospital at Port Said for 12 months.
The Royal Red Cross, which is the highest award given to army nurses,was awarded to Sister Borwick for her services, and she is one of the very few in this State to receive it. Her decoration was given her by Field Marshal Lord Birdwood when he paid his first visit to Australia in 1919.

Nurse Bowman, late matron of the Tumut Hospital, is one of those who has mixed a little romance with her war work, In the course of her ministrations In the military hospitals over yonder, she nursed one Captain Grieve, of Brighton, Victoria, for wounds received in a gallant exploit which won the V.C. On his recovery they became engaged. They were not married in England, because the captain was being returned home, and man and wife are not permitted on the same transport. The wedding was therefore fixed to take place in Australia, and Nurse Bowman got a passage as nurse on the same ship as her fiancee returned. Love finds a way out of all difficulties.
