ANZAC Girls: the extraordinary story of our World War 1 nurses


Recent news has covered the beginning of World War 1. There are many aspects of this war that are tragic, disturbing and heroic. The role of nurses is one such aspect that has been given attention in this book which highlights their courage, compassion and contribution to the war effort.
The book is based on diaries and letters to convey how the war impacted on these women, but written as a representative account that is easy to read and appreciate.(Author's note: Peter Rees) This book would be a useful resource into the effects of war, the role of women, and themes of courage and strength of the human spirit.
