The Swan Hill Military Museum, unique in Australia, if not the Southern Hemisphere tells a different story to most war museums. Every item has a personal story story with it. Included in the area especially set aside for members of the women's services are the uniforms of Sisters Vivian Bullwinkel and Veronica Clancy, both of which have very interesting stories to tell. Both nurses survived the sinking of the Vyner Brooke, by Japanese bombs. Sister Clancy was able to make it ashore on a raft using her uniform as a sail. After coming ashore Sister Bullwinkel joined a group of other nurses, only to become the sole survivor of the Banka Island massacre, when she feigned death after being machine gunned down with the other nurses by the Japanese. A large newspaper clipping consisting of five columns of text and two black and white photos. The first photo shows a display of a military jacket with medals and a nurse's uniform, while the second photo shows a man and a woman looking at a military display.'WWII' [blue ink, top, right of centre] '26-10.72' [blue ink, top right corner]crimean war, sudan war, boer war, world war 1, world war one, wwi, ww1, world war 2, wwii, ww2, korean war, vietnam war, pioneer settlement, general sir william birdwood, anzac, gallipoli, pow
