War Sister's Promotion
Miss R. L. Rushton, Matron of the Edward Millen Home, who has been promoted to the position of Matron of the Repatriation General Hospital at Rosemount, Brisbane. Tuesday evening she will be guest of honour at a party arranged by the Returned Army Nurses' sub-branch of the Returned Soldiers' League at the war nurses' club, Anzac House. Referring yesterday to Miss Rushton's promotion, the Deputy Commissioner for Repatriation (Mr. C. Taylor) said that while the medical staff and patients at the Edward Millen Home and the administrative staff at the Repatriation Department were sorry to lose her services, they had to bow to the inevitable as her new appointment meant promotion. She had been an excellent matron, he added, and her administrative capacity and initiative had been fully demonstrated in August, 1937, when the home had doubled its capacity, the staff had increased to double its size and 30 men had been transferred to it from the Sanatorium at Wooroloo. Miss Rushton trained as a sister in Adelaide and went to the Great War from that city in 1916. She served for two years in France and then at an Australian Hospital in Southall, England,after which she returned to Adelaide, where for some years was laboratory and theatre sister at the Repatriation Hospital at Keswick. It was from there that she received her appointment to the Edward Millen Home and now that further promotion has come her way she will carry with her to Brisbane the good wishes of all with whom she has worked in Perth and of the numerous friends she has made.

Lucy Hannah O'Ryan born circa 1860's in Gordon, Tasmania.
She was the daughter of William Ryan and Margaret Henderson nee Maxwell. Did not marry She died in Hobart, Tasmania in 1941 Miss Lucy Ryan, Army Service Nursing Sister, 10 Quarry street, Hobart, has returned, after a long and interesting period of service at the front. She holds decorations for similar service at Omdurman and during the South African war, and has been recommended for the Royal Red Cross. She was in England at the outbreak of war, and at once offered her services. She was first engaged in attending to a number of wounded Belgian soldiers, who were brought over to England, and then went to Serbia, where she devoted a year to the gallant Serbians before being captured by the Austrians at a hospital between Nish and Belgrade. After being detained three months as a prisoner, she was allowed to return to England, and was placed in charge of a hospital at Spring Hill, Halifax, after which she served as matron of a sanatorium in Wales. After another period of service in Yorkshire she went to London as night superintendent of the Battersea Hospital, and returned to Australia by H.M.T.S. Borda Advocate Thursday 09 January 1919 page 3 |
Sister Lucy O'Ryan
A military funeral was accorded Sister Lucy H. O'Ryan at the Woodbridge Church of England cemetery yesterday. The service was conducted by the Revs. A. A. Bennett and C. Roberts. Mr. Bennett said it would be practically impossible to estimate the value of her services as a nursing sister, and servant of the Church. During the South African War she was matron of a British hospital, and subsequently in England established a hospital. In the First World War she served throughout with conspicuous courage. Since her retirement in Tasmania she had keenly supported the Missionary Society, and was a founder of the Church Army. She generously contributed to the establishment of the Training College in Newcastle for Australian officers and sisters.
Bugler Herbert Daley played "The Last Post."
Funeral arrangements were carried out by Alex. Clark and Son, of Hobart.
