Conditions of life on active, service played havoc with Sister May Hennessy's constitution. She returned from duty at Salonika on the Novgorod last week, and died at Geelong soon after being brought ashore. She had contracted malaria in Salonika, and suffered a relapse on the homeward voyage. Her condition was so serious on arrival that it was impossible to transfer her to her home at Bendigo. Sister Hennessy was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hennessy, McIvor-street, Bendigo. She volunteered for service in 1917, and went as far as Malta in the Mooltan, which was torpedoed while continuing the trip. The funeral took place on Saturday at the Bendigo Cemetery, a large number of nurses and returned soldiers attending in uniform.

Sister May Hennessy, of Bendigo, who died at Geelong on Thursday from malarial fever, contracted while doing hospital duty at Salonika, was accorded a military funeral on Saturday.

This was followed by over 200 returned soldiers. Returned soldiers acted an pall bearers and coffin bearers and at the conclusion of the service they fired a volley over the grave.

The late Sister May Hennessy, of Bendigo, who trained at the Gippsland Hospital, and volunteered for active service immediately on completing her training, and who died at Geelong on returning from abroad, was accorded a military funeral. Sister Hennessy, as already reported, contracted malarial fever while doing hospital duty in Salonika, and owing to her serious condition was taken from the transport and placed in a private hospital in Geelong, where she subsequently died. The funeral took place from the residence of her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Hennessy, McIvor road, on Saturday afternoon. The largest number of returned soldiers yet seen at a funeral in Bendigo turned out to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of the late Sister Hennessy, who had nobly responded to the call of her country and went abroad to do duty in the hospitals. Lieut.-Colonel J. Adams, V.D., was in command of the military. There wasa large number of people present when the funeral cortege moved away from the residence of the late Sister Hennessy's parents, and at different points en route to the cemetery thousands of people assembled to view the mournful procession. The coffin was carried on the salvage waggon of the Bendigo Fire Brigade, and was enclosed in the Union Jack, while two wreaths were placed on the casket, one from the nursing staff at "Osborne House," Geelong, and one from the Bendigo branch. of the Returned Soldiers' Association. Over one hundred wreaths were sent by organisations and sympathising friends, and these were placed in a cab, which followed the mourning coaches. A firing party, consisting of returned soldiers with their rifles, took up a position at the head of the funeral. Then followed the band, consisting of members ofthe various city bands, under Staff Sgt.-Major R. R. Underwood. Marching behind the band came the returned soldiers. At the conclusion of the service a firing party ranged up alongside the grave, and in the customary military style fired a volley.

HERIOT, Katherine (Katie/Kitty) Rae
NURSES WIN HONUOR
FIRING LINE FACED
For some time Mr A. S. Heriot, formerly mayor of Williamstown, had known that his daughter Miss K. R. Heriot had been selected for special army service, so the news that she had been recommended by Field-Marshal Viscount French for distinguished service did not come as a surprise to her relatives.
In October she was right in the thick of the fray, working with a special army corps in close proximity to the firing line in France. She was among the first British nurses to undertake this dangerous duty.
Her last letter indicated that she had marching orders to leave France and join a special nursing unit at Lahore Hospital, Calais. Probably she is still at that centre.
Miss Heriot was a trainee of the Homoeopathic Hospital, Melbourne. She also had some experience at the Women's Hospital. For a time she was acting matron at the Homoeopathic Hospital, Sydney, and later left for West Australia, where she was associated with the Fremantle Hospital.
She volunteered for service twelve months ago, and eventually went to France as a member of the Queen Alexandra Imperial Nursing Reserve. When bound for England she had a most exciting time on the Orontes. It was that eventful trip when the Orontes had to steer clear of a submarine which had manifested a warm interest in British ocean liners. For days and nights the passengers did not discard their life belts.
Some years ago Miss Heriot took a great interest in' aquatic sports, and was in the front rank of successful competitors at the swimming matches organised by various women's 'clubs. Her young brother, Lieutenant F. W.Heriot, R.A.N.R., is attached to the Australian Navy.

VISIT OF WAR NURSING SISTER
Sister Heritage, who has had an extensive experience as a nurse in Egypt and France, is on a visit to Goulburn, and is the guest of Mrs. John Bond, of "Avondale," Clifford-street. Sister Heritage left Australia on November 28, 1914, on the Kyarra, the first hospital ship to Egypt, and was stationed at Mena House until the troops were transferred to Gallipoli. In June, 1915, Sister Heritage came back to Australia on transport duty. Three weeks later the Sister returned on a troopship proceeding to Egypt, where she worked till the following March, and was subsequently transferred to Marseilles. Sister Heritage was stationed in the south of France during the period the troops were passing northward to the scene of conflict. Major (Dr.) Bond was on duty at Marseilles as registrar in charge of the hospital there.
Later the greater portion of the hospital staff was re moved to the north of France, and Sister Heritage was left in charge of the hospital staff remaining at Marseilles. Subsequently she moved northwards to join the rest of the nursing staff at Boulogne, where she remained till March. last, Sister Heritage in an interesting way speaks of her experiences. The weather conditions in the south of France were pleasant, but the winters in the north were extremely trying, the temperature being often from 10 to 20 degrees below zero. The wounded soldiers were cared for in tents. The ground was damp, and this added to the bitterly cold weather made the conditions for nurses and wounded and sick men very trying. Later huts were erected and matters were greatly improved. Sister Heritage speaks in glowing terms of the cheerful, heroic spirit of the Australians, who deeply appreciated the ministry of the Australian nurses. Sister Chisholm and Sister Twynam (both of Goulburn) were in charge of rows of tents near Sister Heritage.
At Boulogne Sister Heritage was taken ill, and was transferred to an English hospital, where she remained for a month. Then she was sent back to Australia in charge of a troopship, which was one of ten boats being convoyed. On the boat on which she sailed there were 11,000 troops and six nurses. Some of the boats went into places of call. Sister HIeritage arrived at Melbourne in July of last year. She was engaged in nursing duty on troop trains between Melbourne and Adelaide, and was subsequently stationed at the base hospital in the latter city. Now she is on furlough, and arrived is Goulburn on Friday last on a visit to her friend, Mrs. Bond On May 12 the Sister is due to return to duty on home service, Sister Heritage, who has seen 3 1/2 years service in the present war, hopes to render further service on transports.

WAR SISTER TO MARRY
Matron Heritage's Long Record
Keen regret was expressed by the men and staff of the Lady Galway Clubhouse, Henley Beach when they learned that Matron Heritage had resigned her position there. Matron Heritage, who has been there four and a half years, has loved her work intensely.
Matron Heritage who has resigned her position at the Lady Galway Clubhouse owing to her approaching marriage with Mr. John Hazen Garden, of Adelaide.
"No other reason that I can think of would have made me resign other than my marriage," she said. "I am leaving here at the end of February to marry Mr. John Hazen Garden. And after all it is a good reason," she laughed. Matron Heritage began her nursing career 23 years ago at the Adelaide Hospital. She passed all examinations with honors, and won the gold medal for this attainment. From the Adelaide Hospital she transferred to the Women's Public Hospital, Melbourne, and gained her certificate for the nursing of women's diseases and midwifery cases after ten months' training. Later she gained the Royal Sanitary Institute of London certificate. For three years she was in the Education Department in Adelaide as school nurse and health inspector. While in office there war broke out, and as she was already on the Army Reserve she was chosen to go with the first lot of sisters. She left in 1914 on the Kyarra, and was stationed with the first Australian war nurses at the No. 2 General Hospital, Cairo. After nine months there she came back on the Kyarra with wounded men. Her next trip was also on the Kyarra. A fortnight after her return to Adelaide she received word that she was to be sister in charge of that ship. There were 1,000 troops on board, and 17 nurses so her task was no light one. She was again stationed at No. 3 General Hospital at Cairo. From there this hospital moved to France on April 1, 1916, and was stationed at Marseilles. Later, part of the hospital moved from Marseilles to Boulogne and Matron Heritage was left in charge of the hospital there for the months preceding the whole of the removal to Boulogne. It was at Boulogne that the dreadful winter of 1916 was experienced and after some months Matron became ill and was invalided home. She was discharged from the Australian Imperial Force, but was not demobilised and for three years she was sister in charge of a ward at Keswick. From Keswick she was appointed to her present position nearly five years ago. This makes her army record one of 10 years' service. "I have had only six weeks' real holiday for years." said Matron Heritage,"so before taking up the duties of housekeeping we are going for a 12 months' world tour. Vancouver and the Rockies will be our first place of interest. We expect to get there in May. We will stay for a while in England, and then make a tour of other countries. We have not quite decided which yet. For the last few weeks my tables have been literally strewn with guides and informative pamphlets of the beauty spots of the world. Each one I read seems just a little more bewitching than the last."Our wedding will be decidedly quiet . The staff here is anxious for me to have something most elaborate, with uniformed guards of honor, but my nerves simply would not stand anything so trying."On our return we will take up residence at Park terrace. I have decided that I will not have any domestic help-that is, to begin with. For so long I have done the managing of staffs that I am going to see how I can get along without them. I shall be quite a hard task mistress with myself, too, for I like things to be well governed and orderly."

LETTER FROM BASRAH HOSPITAL.
Writing from the 33rd General Hospital, Basrah, Persia, on October 22, Nurse Herring, Q.A.I.M.N.S.R., says:"This hospital is built on the ground of the Basrab licorice factory, and the manager and his wife still live near here. She brought me over a large bunch of African marigolds this morning, which I divided between the wards. It is quite a treat to see a flowers again,and yet there ought, I suppose to be quantities about, as Persia is the land of roses. I wish I had a copy of the"Arabian Nights" it would be most fascinating to read them here in this land, so near where the scenes are laid. We (the nurses) are under a mud roof, but even now the heat is very trying from 11 to 5. and the flies are more than a worry; and at night the mosquitoes and sandflies have their turn. It gets quite chilly now between 2 o'clock and 6 a.m., and one is glad of a blanket. This is said to be quite the nicest time of the year her now for a couple of months, and to be quite a splendid health resort, but I can't picture anyone enjoying it as such. Another orderly over, begging for a pipe for a patient going to the convalescent camp tomorrow -the third I have supplied tonight. They are Red Cross stores, and are much appreciated, I can tell you, especially by the older men, who generally seem to prefer a pipe to a cigarette, though I don't find that they say no to them either when there are any going round, and, oh, how they all love a bit of chocolate or some sweetal. Unfortunately, the former doesn't keep very well here."
