Army nursing may be revolution
tzed as the result of a course Of train
ing instituted at the North London
Riding School, where the Islington
Drill Brigade Girls Yeomsnry. twen-
ty-five strong, is showing what
mounted horses could do in the field.
The innovation will be brought
unoficially to the notice of the Brit
lsh military department at the next
annual show OF the navy and army,
and II is believed the army medical
corps will give the idea more than
passing consideration. The work of
the girls brigade is q revelation to
every army officer who witnesses II.
They are trained to all the arts of
nursing before being advanced to the
brigade service. In this their work
is to bind up the wounds of any sol
dier found helpless in the field, hoist
him upon their horses and ride with
him to the field hospital. All this
they do In their regular drills with
surprising proficiency.
Army oficers are already discuss
ing the practicability Of the plan.
The most reasonable objection urged
is the question of being able to
mount nurses where every available
horse Is needed for fghting and
transport work. Most Of the officers
admit that the women would be m
valuable II they could be equipped
and so maintained.
Admittedly 1t would be out Of the
question to have such a mounted
nurse corps in desert fighting, such
as English troops are frequently re-
