SOME OF WAR'S VICTIMS
PLEASURE FOR LEGLESS BOYS.
Sister Ella Tucker writes from Southall:
May 6 (Sunday evening).-Just come off duty after a fairly quiet day. Had a flare up with the W.A.C.C. commandant over the eternal nation question. I do hope there won't be any food questions in heaven. The matron is away on leave, and I am taking her place, so fall in for all the troubles. The Australian N.A. gave sports here yesterday. The hair-dressing competition was very funny-- row of a dozen legless boys sitting in chairs dressing girls' hair. There are three Scottsdale boys here, named Kettle, Viney, and Hudson. On Friday Sister McNeill and I each got a taxi and took four of the double amputation eases for a drive into the country. We bought food and took it with us. You would have laughed to see the car drivers, sister, and I pick -a-backing the boys to our picnic spot. The poor boys had only stumps an inch or so long.' They did enjoy it. I should love to have plenty of money, so that we could take them out more often. One of the boys here-a double amputation case; he had been a parson before enlisting--was married to ta Southall girl. He went to church in his wheel chair, and the boys lifted him, chair and all, up the steps, and wheeled him down the aisle after the wedding he came back to the hospital, and she went home. One of our sisters went back to Australia recently. We have just heard she married in Melbourne--one of her old patients a double-leg amputation case.
May 20.--We are very busy now, working with two-thirds of our staff having sent every nurse that can possibly be spared to France. They are expecting big things there. Yesterday afternoon I took four of the double-leg amputation boys into London by taxi for the afternoon to one of Sister McNeil's friends. The driver carried them in and upstairs, but after music, etc., they had to get themselves down to tea, on their hands and seats. It is wonderful to see them spring up on to chairs. Their arms get so strong with all the exercise.

THROUGH THE WAR AS NURSE
SISTER TUCKER'S RETURN.
A record of splendid service is that of Sister E. J. Tucker, who is now approaching the homeland on board the R.M.S Kenilworth Castle, carrying, in addition to a number of passengers, a large company of munition workers and soldiers' wives and children. Head Sister Tucker, who is a niece of Warden E. Tucker, of Erina-street, left Australia in November, 1914; disembarked in Egypt, and was nursing in the pneumonia and infectious wards till March, 1915, when she was one of the seven sisters chosen for the hospital ship Gascon, which went up the Dardanelles, and was with the Australian troops who landed at Anzac on the 25th April, 1915. She had 19 trips on that ship with wounded from the peninsula. Some of the trips were moststrenuous. The ship was equipped for 480 wounded, but she usually carried from 500 to 900 wounded and sick men. On most of the trips the promenade decks were strewn with mattresses with the less severe patients, but on many even the poop and boat decks were used for wounded. In February, 1916, Sister Tucker returned to her original unit, No.2 A.G.H., which was then at Gezeriah Palace, in Cairo, and was still with them when they transferred to Marseilles in April, 1916. She was working in the camp hospital there until the end of June, when she, with nine other sisters, proceeded for duty at St. Omer to No. 10 Stationary Hospital. They were there for a short time, then were transferred to Etaples, to assist at No. 23 General Hospital (an American unit from Chicago, sent across by the famous Dr. Murphy). Sister Tucker was there till July 30, 1916, when the hospital was taken over by the British again, and the 19 Australian sisters returned to their own unit, which was at Nimereux. Sister Tucker was then, as night superintendent, sister in charge of the acute surgical ward and sister in charge of the operating theatre till August 61917, when she was sent to England as charge sister of the orthopedic section at Thornton Heath of the Croydon War Hospital. While there she was decorated at Buckingham Palace by the King with the Royal Red Cross, which had been awarded to her while theatre sister in France. In February, 1918, she was sent as assistant matron to the Australian Limbless Hospital at Southall, and was there until Australian Headquarters decided to open a Hospital at Tettring for the Australian Flying Corps, the English Cottage Hospital then being inadequate to cope with the number of crashes they were having at the aerodromes. Sister Tucker was sent down there to open the hospital, and was there in charge until she embarked on the Kenilworth Castle on February 14 last, with four other sisters. T'here was so much sickness amongst the munition workers wives and children, that the sisters had a very busy time nursing them during the trip out.

NURSE TULLOH.
After a lingering illness the death of Miss Katie M. Tulloh took place at her residence, Percy Street, on Sunday. She was the third daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. Wm. Tulloh and leaves a sorrowing mother and two sisters, to whom is extended wide spread sympathy. The deceased was a nurse by profession, and answering the call of the Empire, she joined the Australian expeditionary forces, and rendered much valuable service abroad in various military hospitals. On returning to Australia, she continued nursing duties, but subsequently came home to Portland, where she resided up to her death. She was a member of the local branch of the R.S.A., members of which are asked to attend the funeral in a body tomorrow as a mark of respect to their departed comrade.

The Late Nurse Tulloh.
The sad death of Nurse Tulloh, which occurred last Sunday, brings home the toll the war is still taking of those who so heriocally answered the call of the Motherland in her hour of need. The late lady was one of those gallant hand of nurses who did such wonderful service in alleviating the sufferings of those wounded in the conflict, and she served with great distinction right throughout the long period during which hostilities were waged. Whilst on service in India she contracted the dreaded white plague and despite the best of medical attention the disease ultimately carried her off. "Greater love hath no man" can truly be applied to the late lady, to whom those remaining owe a debt of gratitude which can never be paid. The funeral took place on Tuesday, when returned soldiers marched in a body in front of the hearse, and four acted as coffin bearers. An impressive service at the graveside was conducted by Rev. Lee (Presbyterian), at the conclusion of which the Last Post was feelingly played by Mr. W. Stuchbery. Many beautiful floral tributes were received, and the coffin was enwrapped in the Union Jack.

Even the rigid discipline of a military hospital cannot stifle romance, Mr. Cecil Travers Paterson, son of the late Mr. Magnus Paterson of Sale, and Mrs Paterson, of Melbourne, who has long been a cot-case at the Repatriation Hospital, Caulfield, and Miss Phyllis Tweddell, a nursing sister attached to the staff, were married quietly on Monday last. To hundreds of casual friends and acquaintances, this bedridden soldier is known as "Banjo Paterson." Conveyed to the course in a portable cut, he rarely misses a big race meeting. To the regular patrons of Flemington and Caulfield he is a familiar figure. His cheery personality has made him a general favorite. For the soldier patients at Caulfield Sister Tweddell always had a smile and a kindly word. To the daily round of common task she brought a cheeriness that often made dull days more sunshiny for the war cases in her care. Mr. and Mrs. Paterson are living in Mentone.

BENDIGO NURSES.
TRANSFERRED TO FRANCE.
Word has been received in Bendigo that Sisters Tess and Tops Tyson, Effie Garden and M. Pilkington, who are at present on active service, have been transferred to Rouen, France. The whole of these young ladies were a few years ago members of the nursing staff of the Bendigo Hospital. They were all very popular, and although their homes were not in Bendigo they were well known by a large circle of friends, who will be interested to learn of their movements. At the time of volunteering Misses Garden and Tops Tyson were sisters at the Bendigo Hospital. Miss Tess Tyson was sister-in-charge of a private hospital at Colac, while Miss Pilkington was matron of the St. Arnaud Hospital.

Nurse Tess Tyson writing to Miss Boynton from Egypt says : — Vern I have not seen for some days, but Eddie Murphy (late of Wintong was in to see me yesterday and said he was very well and would tell Vern to come in very soon. We had a very busy Xmas. The poor old boys and sisters all appreciated the kindness shown to them by the Australians sending them the Xmas presents. We decorated all our wards with green leaves and flags, and some Italians came and gave our boys a concert, which they enjoyed very much. You would be surprised how many Balranald people we have met over here, and somehow we are always pleased to see them. You will excuse my letter being short, but we have very little time for writing, and I must write home. We are always pleased to get letters from Australia any time you have time for writing.
