Daughter of William FULTON and Teresa nee KINSELL, Koroit, Victoria.
Teresa trained for 3 years at Port Fairy Hospital.
Nurse J. Fulton, whose parents reside in Kirkstall, and who is a former trainee of the Port Fairy hospital, is now engaged doing nursing work at King George's War hospital, Poona India. At Colombo and Bombay she had plenty of opportunities of seeing the sights. The nurse writes:- The week before Christmas we arrived at Bombay and had three weeks' holiday there. The other girls were very good to us and cheered us up a lot. Our girls were sent to different hospitals and stations. This is a new hospital minus patients so far. There is very little doing in India just now, it seems to be a dumping ground. They must be keeping us here for something. Nobody in this country kills themselves with hard work. Our hours are every other day off or rather start 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. one day, then the next, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with 3 hours off--one long and one short. I wish we were busy as it makes things a lot more interesting. Our hospital is surrounded with military camps, and the gardens, race course and canal are near us. At present we go out a good deal now that we know a few people. We have been made honorary members of the gymkhana club and boating club, and had several afternoons at the club also been rowing on the river, in fact, we go to numerous concerts and picnics. Then we have our own tennis-court; in fact, this is the game in India. We are having a good time now but intend to work hard when it comes our way."
