Nurse
SISTER M. G. MOORE, who was on the staff of the Colonial War Memorial Hospital, Suva, Fiji, from 1937 until early in 1939, has seen quite a lot of the world since she left the Islands.
She joined up with the New Zealand Army Nursing Service soon after the out break of war and went to Egypt with the Ist NZ General Hospital. She was in the British expedition to Greece in 1941. where the hospital was lost and the staff made a quick getaway to Crete, where Sister Moore spent only a few days before moving quickly again—this time to Egypt and on to New Zealand with a shipload of wounded.
By September, 1941. she was back in the Middle East, with the 3rd NZ General Hospital, and spent nine months in Syria with this unit. She has since been in Tripolitania and Italy.
Mission, Papua, who has recently been assisting at Taupota during the absence of the Rev. A. P. Jennings, is due in Sydney on furlough. Mr. Salzmann was in New Guinea throughout the trying months of the war, mostly at Wanigela.
Wanigela to-day is staffed by the Rev.
Hugh Andrew, Sister D. Tomkins and Miss Edith Cates.
