'In the Service of Mankind' is the mottos of the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps, and has stuck to that ideal for seventy years. The corps was born just after Federation, though Australian nurses had already served in the Boer War. Since then, whenever Australia has fought, the nurses have been there to treat the wounded. The Australian Army Nursing Service Reserve, the original title of the Corps, got underway in 1902 as a voluntary body supplying trained nurses in times of emergency. Since 1949 the corps has been part of the regular army.A photocopy and the original newspaper clipping that includes a title, captions, three columns of text and four black and white photos.

An account of the wartime experiences of Legatee Thomas White who served a term as President in 1925. This is the story of the capture and escape of Captain Thomas White, Australian Flying Corps on the Baghdad Road, Mesopotamia (Iraq), 13/11/1915. Captain White had been ordered to cut the telegraph wires behind the Turkish Lines along with his observer Captain F. Yeats-Brown from the 17th Indian Cavalry. Although they achieved their objective, the Maurice-Farman Longhorn aeroplane was damaged on landing and could not be repaired and were subsequently captured by the Arabs and local Gendarmerie. After the Arabs had beaten them up they were taken to Baghdad, escorted by the Turks and imprisoned. On 26 July 1918 Captain White escaped with Captain AJ Bott of the Royal Air Force. After making their way by sea (under very difficult circumstances) they arrived and went ashore at Odessa on the Black Sea. Odessa at the time was occupied by Austria and German troops and the Bolsheviks (the Russian revolution was under way). On 3 November 1918 they boarded a ship for Varna where Brigadier-General Ross met them, motored to Salonika, arriving 10/11/1918, then subsequently sent to Cairo.

Book review of "Guns and brooches: Australian Army Nursing from the Boer War to the Gulf War" by Jan Bassett Australia's army nurses were often in the line of fire during World War 1, working at the front in atrocious conditions. About 2300 members of the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) were the only women to serve overseas in an official capacity with the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). They nursed in hospitals in Egypt, Greece, England, France, Italy and Belgium. They were all qualified nurses and virtually all were single or widowed, between twenty-five and forty years old. The nurses were subject to clumsy attempts to impose military way upon them, such as having a group of nurses from No. 3 Australian General Hospital (AGH), wearing ankle-length dresses and bonnets, led by a piper, marching several kilometres to their hospital site on the island of Lemnos, Greece. Only to find hundreds of sick and wounded patients from Gallipoli lying on the ground waiting for them, but no equipment.A large newspaper clipping consisting of a title, six columns of text and a black and white photo of a woman in the winter nurse's uniform of the AIF.'Weekend Australian. / Nov. 1993' [blue ink, top right]wwii, world war two, ww2, wwi, ww1, world war one, korea, vietnam, pacific war, evelyn davies, alice davies, healesville, armistice, salonika, luna park, cairo, melbourne, nellie gould, jane bell, evelyn conyers, no. 1 agh, lemnos, spanish influenza, india, british, peshawar, carrel-dakin method, abbeville, ag butler, hardelot, mimie proctor, no. 2 australian casualty clearing station, messines, elsie tranter, accs, alice ross king, alice ross-king, university of melbourne
