MILITARY SISTER ROSE TAYLOR
Not a few men of the A.I.F. will feel a pang of sorrow at the untimely death of Tuesday evening of Sister Rose, whose gentle hand, untiring patience, and merry laugh endeared her to the legion of sick and wounded that returned home on No. 1 A.H.S. Karoola. At the outbreak of hostilities, Sister Taylor volunteered for active service, and was detailed for duty on the Karoola, then being fitted as a hospital ship in London. Leaving Sydney on the Orsova, with her staunch and life-long comrade, Sister McClymont, she jointed the Karoola, and remained a member of the nursing staff till the end of the war. After eighteen months' further service at the Randwick Military Hospital, she joined Sister McClymont in private nursing at Chatswood.
Sister Taylor was the youngest daughter of the late Rev. W Taylor, of Sydney and Brisbane, and the sister of Mr. W Carey Taylor, of North Sydney, Mr. Richard S. Taylor (editor of the Brisbane Courier), Mr. Roland D. Taylor (of the Queensland National Bank, Sydney) Miss Sophie Taylor (of Tamworth), Mrs. Frank Mackenzie (of Glen Innes) and Mrs. Jim McKenzie (of Armidale).
