The AIF Malaya Memorial Nursing Scholarship established as ‘a living memorial’ to the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) Malaya personnel who lost their lives during World War Two. The annual scholarship supports the education and training of Malayan and Singaporean nurses in Australia who then return to their communities to practice. Prior to 1988, this consisted of in-service hospital courses in institutions across Victoria – thereafter the scholarship has been hosted in conjunction with Curtin University of Technology, Perth. http://www.aifredcross.com.au/a-living-memorial/ See also: Correspondence Files, National Headquarters (2015.0033) Researchers should note that under the Geneva Conventions Act 1957 protections govern the use of the Red Cross emblem.
