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.
