Death of Sister E. M. Kavanagh
Sister Ellen M. Kavanagh, a senior sister at the Repatriation General Hospital, Rosemount, Windsor, died in a private hospital in Brisbane on Saturday night.
She was the daughter of the late Mr Denis Kavanagh, and was born in Burrowa, NSW, on February 06 1885. During the 1914-18 war she saw service abroad with the Australian Army Nursing Service, and for 18 months was stationed at Salonika, from where she was invalided home.
On her return to Australia in 1918 the late Sister Kavanagh was appointed to the stall of the Randwick Military Hospital. She later joined the nursing staff of the Repatriation Commission in New South Wales.
In March 1933, she was transferred to Rosemount Hospital, Brisbane, where she has been a senior sister for some years.
