MENTIONED IN DESPATCHES
Nurse Louisa A Tabor, who has been mentioned by General Sir Douglas Haig in despatches, is a Semaphore lady. A fortnight ago she was mentioned as one of the recipients of a Royal Red Cross )second class), bestowed as a King's Birthday honour. Nurse Tabor was trained at Austin Hospital, Melbourne, and subsequently entered Carlton Hospital. In 1913 she went to the Victorian Agent General's office in London to assist in the dispatch of emigrants to Victoria, and returned in 1914. On the outbreak of war Nurse Tabor offered for the front, and left in January 1915. Since then she has been attached to No. 3 Stationary Hospital at St. Omer, France and engaged in the operating theatre. She is a member of the Royal Victorian Nursing Society. A sister, Nurse Florence Tabor, is in No. 3 Adelaide Auxiliary Hospital
