Description

The "Whoosits Sisters" effectively disguised against any marauding subalterns with ideas. The nurses get quite a lot of fun out of respirator drill which they are bound to do just as often as any long-suffering private. Pictured, left to right, are: VFX382 Sister Margaret Blythe Cuthbert; VX266 Anna Elizabeth Whiteside; VX374 Margaret Elizabeth Josephs; and VFX374 senior nursing sister Dorothy Vines; all of the 2/1st Casualty Clearing Station.
