    there is such a story here to be told - imagine being in the textile industry but soon in the future - one leaves lovely Scotland and ventures to Australia and the conditions there and a nursing career. Where did she study for her nursing??? Who was in Australia that drew her to that part of the world??? Did World War I have anything to do with her chosen career - and her destination of Australia??
