Dame Maud McCarthy , one of the most highly decorated Women's leaders of WW1. She was Matron in Chief of the British Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders , 1914 to 1919. In the year of the Nurse, it seems fitting to remember this Australian woman.


McCarthy was said to have been the only head of a department in the British Expeditionary Forces who remained in her original post throughout the war.

A group portrait of nursing staff of the Australian Voluntary hospital at St Nazaire, France in 1914.



Modest and unselfish, McCarthy dedicated her life to the provision of exemplary care. She was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1918 and later awarded the Florence Nightingale Medal, the highest international distinction a nurse can receive.
She was also awarded a Bar to the Royal Red Cross, the Belgian Medaille de la Reine Elizabeth, and the French Légion d'honneur and Medaille des Epidémies.

Dave


This is was in reference to the navy clearance divers.

I have the book, "A Sappers War ", Jimmy Thomson, with Sandy Macgregor. How the tunnel rats fought the Vietcong. You blokes did much more than go down tunnels. A very impressive read. I dips me lid. I like the concept of " work hard and play hard "

A book I can recommend is Navy Divers, by Gregor Salmon. Starting from WW2, it tells the story of the Clearance Diving branch. Bomb and mine disposal, covert swimmers in enemy waters, boarding parties in the anti-piracy role, counterterrorist special forces on call 24/7. From the rivers of Vietnam to the deserts of Afghanistan , defusing a mine in Iraq working by touch alone or dismantling a Taliban roadside bomb, one of the most respected and versatile operators in the military world.

A mate of mine I played some rugby with was mentioned in dispatches in Vietnam for diving into zero visibility waters and found a mine placed on a ship berthed alongside, working by touch, he thought he had neutralised the mine, so he surfaced to report it, and as he did the mine partially detonated. Took him a while to settle down, but he was back in the water , and he and his mate discovered a Russian BMP-2 limpet mine, the first of the type discovered in Vietnam. As a matter of fact it was the first time some one in the Western World had laid hands on one. Both safety pins were intact, indicating the enemy swimmer had been interrupted , possibly by the detonation of the previous mine. A swimmer was pulled from the water close to where this went on, and turned out to be a Captain from the NVA's 126th Sapper Regiment. My mate was a front row forward , tough as nails, but he said he'd never been so frightened as when that mine went off, just after he cleared the water.

EDIT. Just as a postscript, the US Navy awarded two Navy Unit Commendations to Team 3 in 1970 in recognition of their outstanding work. Senior RAN Staff took no action to recognise, accept and honour the awards , and they sat in a filing cabinet until 2010, when Chief of Navy Russ Crane " stumbled " across them. On October 1, 2010, Crane and USN Admiral Gary Roughhead officially awarded Team 3 Vietnam, the Unit Citations. 43 remaining veterans, and families of the deceased were present. Lest We Forget.
