ED?

What does ED mean after her name? Maybe Efficiency Decoration? --AW 18:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see:http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Efficiency_Decoration Also, you'll see it's spelled out in the yellow box on Sister Bullwinkel's Wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.154.170.132 (talk) 09:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Survivors

I'm confused the article says that 24 of the 65 nurses survived, 21 were killed by the japanese with only Vivian surviving and everyone else who was on board the ship were either killed, drowned or never seen again so where did the other survivors come from?

Rape evidence

This should probably be mentioned on the page. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6897211/Australian-nurse-Vivian-Bullwinkel-pressured-silent-1942-rape-murder-Japanese.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rstt (talk • contribs) 05:06, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bangka/Banka

The spelling alternates throughout the article, but the preferred spelling elsewhere appears to be 'Bangka' (and that's the correct Indonesian spelling). I'd alter it myself, but at least one reference is a link which I don't want to damage.84.243.236.9 (talk) 10:05, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
