Description
Informal portrait of three nurses with Joan, a laying hen, the only one of her kind attached to 119th Australian General Hospital (119 AGH). Joan is badly spoiled, being permitted to occupy the most comfortable chair in the mess for the purpose of laying her occasional egg. NX136236 Sister Mary Christina Haynes from Holbrook, NSW is seen awaiting the "blessed event" with the frying pan, it being her turn to claim ownership.
