Anzac girl
Sister Olive Haynes, featured in last night's ABC drama Anzac Girls, is commemorated on the Roll of Honour at Christ Church, Essendon. Although from South Australia before the war, Olive married Norval (Pat) Dooley in England in 1917. Norval and Olive Dooley lived at 1 Thomson St, Essendon after the war, and their names were recorded on the Christ Church Roll of Honour. The Dooley family had lived in Moonee Ponds prior to the war, but had moved to Ivanhoe just before the war.

Beautiful portrait
ReplyDeleteYes it is very beautiful. I don't think I have seen another coloured portrait of a nurse.
