"In response to the appeal for army nurses did not fall on deaf ears so far as Scone is concerned. Nurse Florence Lee, a successful aspirant to A.T.N.A. honors, and a native of Scone, being a daughter of our Mr. P. W. Lee, answered the call, and within a few days of her doing so, left on active service, together with a band of some 30 odd other nurses drawn from all parts of N.S.W. Nurse Lee, who is a popular young lady, has three brothers in uniform, one of whom (Sid) paid the price of his loyalty in far off Gallipoli.
Having undergone a course of training in England, this work under the altered climatic conditions will not be new to her. Her patriotic action is appreciated by her many friends hereabout, who will wish her well on her noble mission." from the Scone Advocate 12 Jun 1917 (nla.gov.au)
