Description
Informal portrait of three nurses from 119th Australian General Hospital (119 AGH), the only hospital in Australia completely under canvas, hanging out washing. Identified from left to right: Sisters (Lieutenants) NFX136245 Eileen ‘Teddy’ Horan from Belmont, NSW; NFX136244 Margaret Agnes Comtesse from Goat Island, NSW; and NX137921 Marjorie Mawson from Braddon, ACT. Climatic conditions in the Northern Territory emphasise the ‘change daily’ slogan, and every day is washing day for the nurses.
