Story of nurse in Maffra Library mosaic to be told
Sister Irene Singleton, a nurse who survived the World War 2 Bangka Island Massacre, will be remembered at a special talk by Arlene Bennett, president of the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre, at Maffra Library, on Monday 21 June.
Irene Singleton was born in Riverslea, near Maffra, and a historic mosaic dedicated to the memory of Singleton is mounted on the wall of Maffra Library.
On what would have been Singleton’s birthday, Ms Bennett will discuss her life as a WWII nurse, the bombing of her ship the SS Vyner Brook, her survival of the Bangka Island Massacre on Sumatra, and her death in a prisoner-of-war camp. ....
