The War Wanderings of an Aussie Girl [1921 article]

This short one page article, with two illustrations by the author appeared on page 38, Aussie The Cheerful Monthly February 1921. Ussher initially worked in the office of the Australian Navy in England. She did volunteer work for the Green Cross, a Corps which supplied women orderlies to hospital, supply depots and soldiers’ accommodation houses, initially in her spare time but then full time at the Endell Street Military Hospital, a hospital staffed by women. She then volunteered for overseas service in Macedonia with a unit of Scottish Women's Hospitals, a medical charity whose full name was the Scottish Women’s Hospitals for Foreign Service, returning to England in February 1918. Finally she joined the Wrens (Women’s Royal Naval Service) and served in Gibraltar. One of the illustrations “When the Navy withdrew to a dry place at sea” is repeated on the third page, the image having been taken from a microfilm.
