NURSE SERVED IN TWO WARS
An Australian nursing sister who served in the A.A.N.S. during the 1914-1918 war and with the Q.A.I.M.N.S.R. in the 1939-1945 war, returned to Sydney in the Arawa yesterday.
She is Miss H. Cunneen, who was mentioned in despatches during the Egypt campaign in World War II.
Miss Cunneen, who trained at the Prince Henry Hospital, went to England eleven years ago for a holiday and was caught there by the war. She served in England, France, the Middle East, and for 18 months in hospital ships in the Mediterranean and in Japanese waters.
