Queensland Soldiers' Comforts Fund, a working subdivision of the Australian Comforts Fund, was established during World War I. The purpose of the Fund was to provide comforts to soldiers on active service. This was achieved via appeals for donations, public subscriptions, and organising fundraising activities. Numerous branches of the Queensland Soldiers' Comforts Fund were spread throughout Queensland, Australia during this period. One of the committee's first activities was to appeal for public donations of various items that could be dispatched to soldiers overseas in time for Christmas. Accepted items included shirts, undershirts with short sleeves, mufflers, balaclava caps, handkerchiefs, writing pads, envelopes, pencils, pipes, tobacco, cigarettes, bootlaces, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, Vaseline, sweets, coffee, games, books and magazines.[2][3] By the end of World War I, the Queensland Soldiers' Comfort Fund declared that since October 1915 they had packed and shipped 5,010 cases to soldiers overseas, which included 17,324 shirts and 37,983 pairs of socks. Queensland Soldiers' Comfort Fund oversaw several fundraising operations: The Coo-ee Cafe was a volunteer-run cafe, War-time Kitchen operated by volunteers, Jam Shop, Refreshment stall at the Brisbane Exhibition selling sandwiches, fruit and soft drinks with proceeds going toward the Fund.

And one lived...wow.

I wonder why they refer to them by their religion, Hinduism, rather than by their nationality? Should children this young really be considered of a certain religion when they are not old enough to have experienced or read about any other religion? I think not.

Looks more like a dissection than a surgery.
Anybody wash their hands then?

The 2nd sister died about a year after the first, also of tuberculosis.
