Lest We Forget - Marion Leane Smith
Cabrogal Woman
Lest We Forget.
------
"Marion was just 26 when she was sent off to France in March, 1917 where she tended to injured troops aboard the No. 41 Ambulance Train, as part of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Nursing Service (QAINS)."
"Marion displayed that very bravery and tenacity when she extended her year-long contract with the (QAINS) to serve in both Italy and England, until the war ended."
"After the war, she and husband Reverand Victor B Walls relocated to the Caribbean where they became missionaries."

Our mob fought for a country that did not honor them. Our people full of mercy and kindness died for the vision and hope that one day Australia would become a peaceful and prosperous nation for all people.
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."
- Jesus
May we build upon our ancestor’s sacrifice, mercy and bring their vision into reality through the vehicle of LOVE.
