Description

Letters relating to the First World War service of Sister Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) Evelyn Davies. These letters were written by Davies to her mother Alice Davies and brother Rupert Davies between 27 April 1915 to 12 November 1915. In these letters Davies recalls preparing to take exams and participating in a demonstration of disinfection in Brunswick. In April 1915 Davies writes about her interview with the Defence Department and possibly being sent with other nurses to France rather than Egypt. She also speaks with sadness at the thought of leaving her family in Australia. Davies recalls her embarkation from Melbourne on RMS Mooltan in May 1915.
