Noeline Ritson is 101 years old, a resident of the Malvina Major Retirement Village who served as a medic during World War II. Her story is one of 50 nationwide in the newly-published 2019 Ryman Healthcare village book. Other Malvina Major veterans are included, one of them Mike Button who served in the Malaysian Emergency. But Noeline is unchallenged as the oldest. From the Auckland area, she joined St John Ambulance at 12, first aiding at local events. Then, aged 23, hearing the army wanted women to work in the Middle East, she decided to apply. Continued on page 2.
