Photographs and letters from Evelyn Davies to her family, 1917

Photographs, letters and ephemera relating to the First World War service of Sister Evelyn Davies, Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS). These letters were written by Evelyn Davies to her mother Alice Davies and also letters written by her mother between 8 January 1917 to 25 December 1917. In these letters Evelyn Davies recalls sailing again on the RMS Mooltan to Europe and not sure where she will be sent to. She expresses her concern over the horrible conditions on the Western Front and wishing that the war was over. In a touching sentiment Davies writes about being homesick and wanting to see her family before travelling further away. In letters from Evelyn's mother, Alice Davies describes and updates Evelyn on family life in Healesville. Included are black and white photographs of Evelyn Davies wearing her uniform and a postcard with photograph of Evelyn Davies posing with patients.
