Biography

"Clementina Hay Marshall was one of about 2,000 nurses who served overseas during the war. She served on the hospital ship HMAS Gascon and was one of only seven nurses who treated 500 wounded men in often appalling conditions... "There were no antibiotics, all they had was morphine and the war office often didn't send enough. They'd run out of morphine by the second day and there were these men in agony... nurses were paid a minute pension and some were buried in pauper's graves without a headstone... they even had to pay for their own uniforms and equipment before they left Australia..." - READ FULL STORY (www.abc.net.au)
