Summary: Woodside, Vic. 1951. Warrant Officer 1 G.R. Gardiner instructs Sister Betty Crocker, Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps (RAANC) (left), Sister M.M. Larkin (middle) and an unknown nurse during rifle training at the Army Camp before their departure for Korea. It was considered necessary for the nursing personnel to do rifle and pistol training because the authorities were concerned that the North Korean troops would not respect the Geneva Convention or the sign of the Red Cross.
