Editor's note: Perth-born Mollie Skinner nursed in India and Burma in the First World War. As 'R.E. Leake', she published a novel of nursing in the Western Front, Letters of a V.A.D. (1918). The picaresque novel Tucker Sees India, which draws on Skinner's knowledge of the subcontinent, details the adventures of an eccentric Australian soldier en route to the European battlefields, who gets stranded in Bombay and jauntily travels around India: 'he never enquired into the ends of his adventures'. Skinner is perhaps best known for her collaboration with D.H. Lawrence, The Boy in the Bush (1924)
