On the occasion of my visit to Hobart in 2017, I sought the location of Nurse Orr's medal group with the intention of photographing it and posting it on this site. After some checking with with the Hobart Hospital, I was advised that there is an exhibition of Nursing memorabilia at the University of Tasmania site. The suggestion being that if the Orr medal group is anywhere, there it would be found. Unfortunately, I was sent that advice on the very morning of my departure for home - so I could not follow it up. I determined to do so on the next opportunity.
I was not able to give Hobart a visit in 2018; however I managed it this year. The UofT site was located and so was the display of Nursing memorabilia. However, no medal group. The staff were extremely helpful - even going to the extent of searching all over for likely places. Again, no luck.
Thus, I am afraid, my search has come up with a blank.
A disappointment, but there it is.

IL.
