Nurse Alice Ross-King MM.

Australian Imperial Force

from:Australia

For Alice Ross-King of the Australian Imperial Force, nursing during the war included surviving a pretty dramatic German air attack at the Casualty Clearing station where she was working in St Omer, France. Only five days after her arrival in St Omer, German planes bombed the station. Missiles whistled out of the night sky and exploded all around her, throwing her to the ground. She staggered back to her feet, temporarily confused by the sound of planes and artillery roaring overhead. Bombs were bursting around the buildings and tents, but Alice ran straight into the danger zone, her only thought being the welfare of her patients. Alice Ross-King’s inspirational service under enemy fire earned her the Military Medal for great coolness and devotion to duty.
