Another Queensland nurse has been awarded the distinction of the Royal Red Cross— Sister Louie Snelling, who left with the hospital ship Kyarra shortly after the outbreak of war, and served in clearing hospitals in Egypt, France, and Belgium. Like so many of our successful Queensland sisters, she was trained at the Brisbane General Hospital.
