2—' Red Cross Nurse'
Narrated by Edward Ward
Written and produced by Marjorie Ward
When Sister Jorden, M.B.E., was awarded the coveted Florence Nightingale medal the citation said: ' Sister Jorden worked with the Methodist Mission in China for eight years. She was interned for two-and-a-half years before joining the British Red Cross China Mission, and was later posted to civilian relief in Germany. In 1949 she joined the Relief Commission in Trans-Jordan; she organised and developed the work of the British Red Cross in Malaya, and in 1953 was selected for special civilian relief in Korea. She re-established the Nursing Training School of the South Korean Red Cross Hospital. She is a most outstanding nurse, shows great initiative for difficult missions, and incarnates the true Red Cross spirit by her abnegation and selfless devotion to duty.' In tonight's programme she tells her own story.
