MISS JULIA GERTRUDE KENNY.
Miss Julia Gertrude Kenny, who died at Balwyn on October 25th, was the daughter of the late Thomas and Mary Kenny, of Wahring, Vic. She was educated at the Catholic school, Wahring and afterwards took up the profession of nursing, competing her course of training at the Mooroopna Hospital. For some time she was engaged in private nursing, but soon after the outbreak of the war she enlisted in the A.A.N.S., and was sent to Salonica. For over two years she was on active service with the troops, and then was transferred to the Dartford Military Hospital. England, where she remained for some months. Returning to Australia she had three months' leave, and then resumed nursing at the Caulfleld Military Hospital, where she remained until overtaken by her last illness. Nurse Kenny's loss will be felt very much both by her patients and by her large circle of friends.
R.I.P.
