I CA r Q f O0ol':1 ooo ur alliaint urses THE WARM sUN gleamed on the tiny islands of the South Pacific. The gentle lapping of the surf on the beach and the thunderous roar as the waves lashed against the reefs was a thing of beauty, mystery, and restfulness. The nurses at the base hospitals basked in the afternoon sun on their hours off. Life was wonderful and peaceful. How long would this last? Could not the world look to these peaceful islands and to their natives? Alas! the world was only to look to the South Pacific with hateful eyes, and envious heart for its many natural and great financial resources. In truth the world was jealous of their beauty, liberty and prosperity. - Then like an enraged octopus, the tentacles of Death and Infamy, reached out -Pearl Harbor attacked. Bombs fell and with them brave men and women. Out of this were born between seconds women who became valiant, courageous, tire- less, kind, and gracious. Only a few there were, but to thousands of our boys in service, they were God's personal messengers of Comfort and Hope. In Bataan, Guam, Manila, and throughout the entire Pacific, wherever our fighting men were serving, the American Army and Navy nurses were writing a new and brilliant epoch in American Nursing History. Theirs was the will to work, to fight, and to hope for victory until the end. Theirs, too, was the only courage and light, our boys could grasp out to and feel refreshed. Death to our brave heroes was sweet and a gratifying reward, for had they not been attended to by brave women in white, women who were truly American to the very core? Our nurses are now throughout the world. With our forces in Africa, where the battle has raged throughout Dakar, Iibuti, Tobruk, Casablanca, down and across the desert wilderness, they have faced the enemy. Like their sister nurses of Great Britain, Canada, Poland, Russia, and all our Allies, they have gone forth into the fray of battle. Knowing what to expect and what to do. This they did without flinching as the prodigious task loomed before them in all its bitterness, shameful- ness, and heroism. Could we in our civilian life -carry out daily the work these noble women are doing? They are working nearly twenty-four hours daily, giving precise nursing care to our soldiers, sailors and marines. In the jungles of New Guinea and Guadalcanal, hidden from the enemy by the heavy foliage, spring up small, yet complete hospitals. Beds are stretchers, or the very earth, but even these are made luxuriously comfortable by the mere chang- ing of a pillow, or moving the position of an encased wounded limb. We always complain if we work overtime or walk eight or ten hours a day. Fifty-four Ulllfi lui! im: Sllll. from 'iw fo! lhf ll' Ou!
