It is wonderful to see RSL Australia supporting The Bullwinkel Project with their appeal to raise funds. RSL National President Greg Melick said the RSL was extremely pleased to support the ACN in its effort to honour Vivian Bullwinkel and the sacrifices of the Australian nurses on Bangka Island.
“The RSL and many members have already supported the fundraising campaign, but more is required to ensure this ongoing legacy,” he said.
“The sculpture and the scholarships will help inspire generations of Australians, as well as commemorate all nurses and midwives and remind us of their contributions of selfless service to Australia whether in conflicts or in peacetime.”
