SCOTTISH WOMAN < SOLDIER WOUNDED WITH THE SERBS. MANGLED BY BULGAR BOMB. 111 a clean and comfortable bed. amidst; comfortable and quiet surroundings, lies comely, mother-looking little lady. Her bed is in the nurses' ward of Militaiy Hcs- pital, Camp No. 41. Macedonia, and.the! little lady is a vatient-the tõnly patient of her sex in a camp that has accommoda- tion for 1,600 sick or wounded Serbian men. A few days ago a Royal Aide-de-Camp came to her bedside, and, on behalf of the Prince Regent of Serbia, pinned to her breast, with much ceremonial, the goid and silver Cross of Kara-George—a rare badge that is given for cons; i juous bravery on the field of battle. The whole right side i.f her body, from the shoulder to the knee, was lately a mass of Tern flesh and shattered bene -tlie work of a Bulgarian hand-bomb that chanced upon hev as she was helping the Serbs to clear out an enemy t:?och. JJut now it is healing as satisfactoiily as am surgeon could wish. Miss Flora, Sand.—that is the little lady s name—is Scotswoman. Working in Serbia as a hospital nurse since early hi the pre- sent world-war. her sympathy so keenly aioused by the sufferings and heroism of the people that, when the hospital units we;.? broken up during the great ret rent of Octo- ber-November. 1915, she joliciteci and obtained permission to enlist as a private in thp 1 earguard that protected the v. ith- drawai of the retve-ting army. Before the army reached the Adriatic shore she had woji promotion. Become Sergeant Sands, she stood high in the regard oi both oiffcers and men of the cra« k regiment to which she still belong s. On the Macedonian front she went through the wboie^of the arduous and uecétul offer:j-'ive campaign that began on Sei'tembcr i2. ¡ Over the Tsra.
