Five Women Nurses Honored For Bravery

 

            London, June 4 (Via Reuter’s) The London Gazette announces the award of military medal to five women nurses for bravery and devotion to duty during enemy air raids on hospitals. Nursing Sisters Mary Brown and Marie Lutwick were with the matron and another sister, when the former was severly injured and the latter killed. Nursing Sister Brown attended them and Nursing Sister Lutwick crossed the open bomb-swept ground and brought help. Both subsequently returned to the clearing station and worked many hours in greatest danger.
