Abstract

Alice Alanna Cashin (1870-1939) was a pioneering Australian nurse whose career spanned both conflict and humanitarian service. Born to Irish immigrants in Australia, Cashin trained at St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, before expanding her expertise in London and joining the British Red Cross during World War I. Her service included critical roles in France and Egypt, and she was eventually promoted to 'seas-matron' on the HMHS Gloucester Castle. During a torpedo attack by a German U-Boat, Cashin displayed extraordinary bravery, overseeing the evacuation of over 399 patients and ensuring their safety before leaving on the last lifeboat. After the war, she managed a military hospital in England before returning to Australia to care for her ailing father and later her elderly uncle. Cashin's post-war years included a modest stint running a stationery shop and her retirement in Victoria Road. Her exemplary service earned her multiple accolades, including the Star Medal and the Royal Red Cross Medal, the latter being the first awarded to an Australian. She was also honoured with multiple mentions in dispatches and personal invitations to Buckingham Palace. Alice Cashin's legacy is memorialised at the Woronora Cemetery, with her medals and accolades displayed at the ANZAC Memorial in Sydney, reflecting her enduring impact on the nursing profession and her remarkable dedication to service and care.

爱丽丝-阿兰娜-卡申(1870-1939 年)是澳大利亚的一名先锋护士,她的职业生涯跨越了冲突和人道主义服务。卡希恩出生于澳大利亚的爱尔兰移民家庭,曾在悉尼圣文森特医院接受培训,之后在伦敦扩展了她的专业知识,并在第一次世界大战期间加入了英国红十字会。在一次德国 U 型潜艇的鱼雷袭击中,卡辛表现出了非凡的勇气,她监督疏散了 399 多名病人,确保他们安全后才乘坐最后一艘救生艇离开。战后,她在英国管理一家军医院,之后返回澳大利亚照顾生病的父亲和年迈的叔叔。战后,卡辛在维多利亚路开了一家小文具店,并在那里安享晚年。她的模范服务为她赢得了多项荣誉,包括星形奖章和皇家红十字奖章,后者是首次授予澳大利亚人的奖章。她还曾多次受到白金汉宫的邀请。沃罗诺拉公墓(Woronora Cemetery)纪念了爱丽丝-卡申,悉尼澳新军团纪念碑(ANZAC Memorial)也展示了她的奖章和荣誉,这反映了她对护理行业的持久影响以及她在服务和护理方面的杰出奉献精神。
