THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALES FROM AUSTRALIA
Miss Minnie Farquharson Proctor, R.R.C., daughter of Mr F. Proctor, of Marlton crescent, St. Kilda. is still on service abroad. She was born in New Zealand, but gained her nursing training at the Melbourne Hospital. In 1917 she was on duty at the 3rd Australian General Hospital, France. Prior to that she was attached to a Casualty Clearing Station, being one of the extra staff sent forward to assist after the battle of Messines. Commenting on this experience she wrote; — "No words can ever express what it feels like to be close to the line while a stunt is on. We were stationed four miles back, and often one could not make herself heard with the roar of the guns. Some times the barrage would keep up for hours. Only one of our sisters was wounded. While you are in the thick of things you never think of the danger." Miss Proctor also served at Lemnos.
