B ‘F IVE ARMY NURSES FLYING IN ALASKA 'ARE GIVEN AWARDS | HEADQUARTERS, ELEVENTH AIR FORCE SERVICE COMMAND | —Five flying Army nurses who have | evacuated Army patients by air from the Aleutians and Alaska for |over a year were recently awarded | the Air Medal by Maj. General Dav- enport Johnson, Commanding Gen- eral of the Eleventh Air Force. General Johnson flew from his | field headquarters to Elmendorf | Field to present the medals person- | ally to the nurses, who were the first women to receive the Air Medal in this theatre. All air force troops at the base passed in review following the ceremony. i |- The nurses so honored were 2nd | | Lts. Betsy Bradford of Sharon, Mass., Anna R. Hoover of Ports- mouth, Ohio, Helen F.

All| have over 550 hours in the air. | |-~ The nurses took up their duties in | the Alaskan theatre before the bat- | tle of Attu when the weather was knocking more planes out of the ! | air than the Japs did. One of their | number, Lt. Ruth M. Gardiner, was |killed in a crash on the Alaska Peninsula shortly after Attu while | on a mission to evacuate battle cas- | ualties. Later the Army named a | general hospital after her, the first !‘nme the Army has, so honored a | woman. The nurses’ citation stated that “although in the performance of their duties they were often required to remain at advanced bases in the Aleutian area at a time when living conditions presented unusual hard- ships, they eagerly seized upon every opportunity to accomplish any as- signed mission.” “The professional skill, together with the courage and devotion to duty, demonstated by these nurses reflects highest credit upon them- selves and the Army Air Forces,” their citation said. .
