OBITUARY
The first South Australian nurse to volunteer for active service in 1914, Miss F. E.Pritchard, who died recently,
devoted 23 years of her life to the care of sick soldiers, particularly TB sufferers. She was a good friend, too, to daughters of deceased soldiers and it was mainly because of her efforts that the party given every year to Legacy girls by the Returned Sisters' sub-branch of the RSL was begun years ago. The late Miss Pritchard served with the AANS in Egypt, England, France and India during World War 1 and after the Armistice returned to Adelaide and joined the staff of the 7th AGH. Later she was transferred to the Myrtle Bank Hospital, of which she was matron for six years. A keen worker for the Returned Sisters' sub-branch of the RSL, the late Miss Pritchard was on the executive for years and was a past president and convener of the social committee. After her retirement from active nursing she continued her interest in ex-service personnel, but for some years she had been in ill-health.
