Extract
Meanwhile, in Brisbane, the first plans for the base hospital arrived from Melbourne architects, Stephensen and Turner. The hospital was to comprise an Administrative Block and three single-storey pavilion-style ward blocks, one on each of the newly built terraces. The plans also included two brick buildings, each of two storeys. One was to house the officers of the Australian Army Medical Corps (AAMC) – mainly, but not exclusively, doctors – and the other to house sisters (nurses) of the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) and officers of the Women’s Services. By March 1941, Australian troops had been sent to reinforce the British fortress island of Singapore. In Brisbane, C & H Heaven and Sons were awarded the contract to construct the main ward blocks, which were to become Wards 1 to 6 and the sisters’ quarters. The contract to build the doctors’ quarters, a mirror image of the sisters’ quarters, was awarded to the firm of J W Green, which was also responsible for construction of the boiler house.
