In Egypt she did duty in various hospitals, and at the beginning of September, 1915, she went on transport duty on H.M.A.S. Gasconto Lemnos and Gallipoli. Then Nurse Walker went to Salonica with No. 29 General Hospital. From here she returned to Ghiezireh,and was soon after appointed matron of No. 1 Australian Stationary Hospital, Ismailia, Port Said. This hospital was later removed with its full staff in October, 1916-to Dartford, Kent, as No. 3 Australian General Hospital.

DISTINGUISHED NURSE'S FUNERAL.
A description of the funeral of Matron Jean Miles Walker, of Sydney who died in England after tour years of very distinguished service, has been sent to his parents in Goulburn by Lieut. A. Carver, who writes from Heytes-bury, Wiltshire:-
Last week the matron of the hospital at Sutton Veney a camp a couple of miles from here died of this Influenza that's getting about. We arranged to supply the gun carriage and horses to boar the coffin from the R.B.A.A. The funeral took place this afternoon. We had three officers driving and two cadets as brakes men on the limber. I happened to be one of them. We moved off from Sutton Veney at the slow march a terrible thing for horses to keep up and we did the mile to the church in just under an hour. The two Brakesmen walked behind the gun carriage, and walking along side me was Captain Jacka, the Australian V.C. and M.C. and bar. The road was lined with thousands of Australians, and it made the funeral ceremony even more impressive to see the way every man came up to the salute as the coffin passed - even little kiddies about 6 years old, seeing all the soldiers doing it, solemnly did the same. About 100 officers and 200 men attended, besides many others who came along, apart from the actual column at the slow march. I'm glad I had the privilege of going-It was most Impressive.

LATE SISTER A. B. M1LLIGAN.
SERVED IN LAST WAR.
Sister Annie Beatrice Milligan, who died recently, was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Milligan, who resided at Muswellbrook for many years. Sister Milligan, who was 55 years' old, received her early education in Muswellbrook. She was born in the house now occupied by one of her surviving sisters, Miss Clare Milligan. After completing her education in the town she accepted a position as governess in a country centre, but later took up the nursing profession, having received her training at the Newcastle district Hospital. After completing her training deceased was sent to Quirindi by the Health Department to nurse a case of smallpox which had broken out in that town. In the early stages of the war she was attached to the staff at Randwick Military Hospital, and later enlisted for overseas' service, and was one of a contingent of 290 nurses who left on the same boat for Salonica. Before returning home Sister Milligan spent six months on the staff at Guy's Hospital, London. The war took toll of her health to a degree that she was unable to resume nursing after her return to Australia.
The late Sister Milligan is survived by three sisters and two brothers, viz.,Mrs. F. Attkins, Mrs. G. Woodland, both of Randwick, and Miss Clare Milligan (Muswellbrook), Mr. Joseph Milligan (Maitland) and Mr. Alexander Milligan (Newcastle).
The remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery, Randwick. The casket was draped in the Union Jack at the services at the funeral parlors and the graveside. The Rev. Abrams, of St. Jude's, Randwick, officiated at each service.
Miss Milligan, who has been a prominent worker for the Muswellbrook Renwick Cot, has received a letter signed by Mr. Stephen Herford and Mr. W. D. Rodd, president and secretary respectively of the Benevolent Society of N.S.W. expressing their deep regret in the loss sustained by the death of Sister Milligan.

In November 1915 110 Sisters left Australia by the Orsova which was also carrying the Remount unit. We arrived in Cairo Dec 12th our numbers being divided – half going to No 2 Aust Gen Hospital. The other half going to No 1 General Hospital Heliopolis – myself being among the latter. Here the majority of us were not put on duty for three weeks – (As the hospital was not busy – The evacuation from Gallipoli being carried out without many causalities). But we had to stay in on call. I had time off the same as the Sisters on duty. I was first sent to a typhoid ward – and after doing duty here for six weeks was then sent on night duty in a ward for eighty patients. I had two orderlies to assist me. After doing five weeks on night duty the Palace closed & No 1 Aust Gen Hospital Unit left for France leaving the most recent reinforcements behind to staff the auxiliaries – myself with the others were sent to Luna Park No 1 Aust Aux – Here all the cases boarded for Australia were sent – there was very little nursing required as the greater majority of the patients were able to get up. In July Luna Park was closed down. I was among a number of Sisters sent to Choubra Military Infectious Hospital (British) – Here we had an Australian Matron & nursing staff – but English Medical Officers – orderlies and patients. In January 1917 we got word to leave for England but were very sad that our Matron had got her orders for Australia instead of England. We embarked from Alexandria on British Hospital Ship Essiquibo – one ward on the boat was allotted to us 60 Sisters to sleep in. We had rather squally weather & several of the hospital staff were unable to go on duty – so volunteers were called for from us. Several of the Sisters did duty for a couple of days. We arrived in England near the end of Jan 1917. Here we were billeted at the Portland Hotel for 10 days – during this time we were on call. Early in February we left for France going through Boulogne, & Amiens to Rouen – where we were divided among British Hospitals – myself and five others going to No 5 British General Hospital – We were here for five months when we were recalled to No 1 A G Hospital where I stayed till we evacuated December 1918. During my time in France the work both surgical & medical was fairly continuous. Sometimes we were frantically busy. One of our regrets is that we did not get many of our own boys to nurse – the greater majority of them going to British hospitals – while we nursed mostly Tommies & Jocks. Since coming to England /Sutton Veny/ we have had Australians to nurse. M B Milligan No 1 ASN England.
