Description
English: Photograph of nurses beside the troopship KANOWNA, Kew, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, c 1916. This black and white photograph depicts a group portrait of nurses on a wharf with KONOWNA behind them. They are wearing their uniform and five of the seated women have leather bags with tassels. The reverse has a handwritten inscription in pen reading: 'KANOWNA'.

The nurses are the twenty Red Cross Bluebirds (plus either their french tutor or the accompanying massuese) who were sponsored by the NSW Jockey Club to assist in the war effort. The nurse seated front row far left is Nellie Crommelin. For more information on the Bluebirds, see our blog.

Also SMH 4/7/1916, page 8 'Nurses for France' article mentions that the nurses were presented by the French-Australian League of Help with a leather kit bag (may be the bags that several of the ladies are holding in this image).http://bit.ly/QKnzHO
