NURSE TULLOH.
After a lingering illness the death of Miss Katie M. Tulloh took place at her residence, Percy Street, on Sunday. She was the third daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. Wm. Tulloh and leaves a sorrowing mother and two sisters, to whom is extended wide spread sympathy. The deceased was a nurse by profession, and answering the call of the Empire, she joined the Australian expeditionary forces, and rendered much valuable service abroad in various military hospitals. On returning to Australia, she continued nursing duties, but subsequently came home to Portland, where she resided up to her death. She was a member of the local branch of the R.S.A., members of which are asked to attend the funeral in a body tomorrow as a mark of respect to their departed comrade.

The Late Nurse Tulloh.
The sad death of Nurse Tulloh, which occurred last Sunday, brings home the toll the war is still taking of those who so heriocally answered the call of the Motherland in her hour of need. The late lady was one of those gallant hand of nurses who did such wonderful service in alleviating the sufferings of those wounded in the conflict, and she served with great distinction right throughout the long period during which hostilities were waged. Whilst on service in India she contracted the dreaded white plague and despite the best of medical attention the disease ultimately carried her off. "Greater love hath no man" can truly be applied to the late lady, to whom those remaining owe a debt of gratitude which can never be paid. The funeral took place on Tuesday, when returned soldiers marched in a body in front of the hearse, and four acted as coffin bearers. An impressive service at the graveside was conducted by Rev. Lee (Presbyterian), at the conclusion of which the Last Post was feelingly played by Mr. W. Stuchbery. Many beautiful floral tributes were received, and the coffin was enwrapped in the Union Jack.
