Description

Aitape, New Guinea. Not exactly the beauty parlour they were used to in civilian life, but the nursing sisters are satisfied with the haircut the barber at an Australian General Hospital, Private Pat Seaman of Sydney, NSW, gives them. In the chair is Sister Elsie Ireland of Murrurundi, NSW, and waiting among others is Sister Laura Monahan of Geelong, Vic.
