Staff Nurse
Miss M.M.L. (from Melbourne, Australia) (her name was Mary McLean Loughron)

The "Matron", the senior nurse is an assertive woman. She reigns over an 'ambulance' (see Field Ambulance in Wikipedia), the most difficult organism to manage. One must balance caring needs, discipline maintenance, and feminine instincts. There is no doubt about this one succeeding in her task. She is, to be sure, an assertive woman and in control of herself. Not that she is without charm: from under her billowing hat, her energetic gaze is tempered by softness. Her eyes are clear, like those of the women of her country, and the wounded over whom she stoops must find in her eyes the tenderness as necessary as the most skillful care. But she is also an officer and needs to be obeyed. This war will be well ordered in this particular world, thanks to the feminine touch.

Postscript
There is lots more information about her on the Discovering Anzacs website
