The Australian Nurses Memorial Centre has been targeted by thieves earlier this morning, with the plaque on St Kilda Road stolen.

And it left Jacqui Felgate and RSL Victoria State Executive Eamon Hill absolutely FUMING.

“What happened overnight is nothing short of a disgrace,” the 3AW Drive host said.

“We are sick of it … it’s really disheartening and really disappointing,” Mr Hill, who is also a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, said.

“The community is disgusted by this behaviour.”

Vice President of the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre, Dr Ingrid Brooks, said it was “quite shocking” to be notified of the stolen plaque.

“It is pretty upsetting,” Dr Brooks told Felgate.
