Returned Sailors, Soldiers & Airmen's Imperial League of Australia (Inc. ) have
endeavoured to trace and help those who served and particularly men and
women with disabilities or illnesses unaccepted as due to War service. afhf
afh Making enquiries at all Public Hospitals, Convalescent Homes or other
institutions throughout the Commonwealth has meant much time spent but good work
done in that regard. afhfhfhhhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfffh
afh By the year 1936 the wants of the Cause has grown to such an extent
in South Australia as to necessitate the setting up of a special Hospitals & a
Welfare Committee to efficiently control the work. At that time an approach was
Made by those of us who were given authority and permission was given for a
organised parties to visit ex-Service personnel being patients in the Royal a
Adelaide Hospital. afhhhhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfh
afh We knew then we were asking for a great deal of co-operation from a
the Staff of this Hospital, which in effect meant the Nursing Staff, and particularly
the Matron and Sisters in Charge of the various Wards. We as well knew over
the years these good people would be called upon to answer thousands of a
enquiries and in other ways make time and opportunity to help us. afhh
afhh From the inception of the organised scheme we have met a ready
response and a spirit of co-operation far beyond that which we expected. afhh
and we wish to place on permanent record and make known to the Matron,
Sisters and Nurses of this Hospital how much we value and highly afhfh
Appreciate their courtesy, consideration and helpfulness. afhfhfhfhfhhh
afhhh The Executive and Members of all Sub-Branches together with the ah
State Board of the Returned Sailors, Soldiers & Airmen's Imperial League
of Australia (S.A.) Inc. now ask the Matron, Sisters and Nurses of the
Royal Adelaide Hospital to accept this address with their grateful afhh
thanks and suggest that it be placed in a suitable position in the
Nursing Staff quarters of the Hospital as a memento of their afhh
expressions and some slight tribute of their regard.afhfhfhfhfh hh
