The Australian military authorities have decided to recognise the work that women have done
during the war in the capacity of nurses. The nurses have to face hardships as well as the men in the trenches; they, too, have left the comfort and safety of their homes, and in many cases have displayed bravery only equaled by the best of the men in the fighting ranks. The authorities have decided that nurses who have been discharged shall be permitted to wear the official discharged soldier’s badge, to prove that they were worthy followers of Florence Nightingale.
