sion of Senator Chamber

LITTLE BRETON NURSE
MOTHER TO SOLDIERS
: portland Press. }

A letter from prominent English
woman which has come to a relative
in Portland, contains the following
clipping, telling one Of the most pa
thetic Of the many war incidents. 1t
reads as follows:
"A touching letter from a British
soldier belonging to the Leicesters, ad-
dressed to the hospital in the north
of France where he spent the last Ave
weeks, and whence he has just been
discharged, is published in the French
press. The writer says:
In my own name and that of my
pals, ! want to thank the little Breton
nurse who has been SO good to us,
and who, think, hid from US who
she really was. Never was a. woman
born kinder, tenderer or more patient
and lovable. saw her first in a field
hospital singing a wounded Highland
er to sleep rather than that he should
disturb the rest of us with his bag
pipes. The next moment she would be
hunting for priest to come and COM
fort a lad who had been shot to pieces
but was still conscious and was crying
for the padre, and when the chaplain
had gone she continued to soothe him
with those Christian phrases which a
good woman can employ with far bet
ter effect than any minister. He was
lying next me, and I heard her speak
ing Of loved ones he was about to re-
join in the other world, when he died
in her arms.
Scarcely had death brought him
relief when another called her. He was
a young lieutenant, whose face in
dicated that in his case. also, life was
fast ebbing. A shell had torn part
of MS head away, and yet he could
speak; but it was only one word; and
this he repeated over and over again
Mother. Our dean and precious nurse
found in his pockets the photo of her
whom he was calling. She gently put
it in his hands and although his eye
sight had gone, he knew what it was.
and with the same cry on his lips, he
was gone.
She was a mother herself, for in
locket that she wore was the picture
Of a beautiful 4-year-old child. Often
we saw her press it to her lips And
yet to nurse US who were not her com
patriots, whom she did not even know,
this sanity woman left her home and
separated herself from her own baby.
Heroic lady, accept our heartfelt gra-
titude. 1t is tragedy that you did so
! much for US, while what on earth
could we do for you?"
