These were the women who left for war looking for adventure and romance but were soon confronted with challenges for which their civilian lives could never have prepared them. Their strength and dignity were remarkable. Using diaries and letters, Peter Rees takes us into the hospital camps and the wards, and the tent surgeries on the edge of some of the most horrific battlefronts of human history. But he also allows the friendships and loves of these courageous and compassionate women to shine through and enrich our experience. Profoundly moving, Anzac Girls is a story of extraordinary courage and humanity shown by a group of women whose contribution to the Anzac legend has barely been recognised in our history. Peter Rees has changed that understanding forever. 610 10 $a Australia. $b Australian Army. 610 10 $a Australia. $b Australian Army Nursing Service. 610 10 $a New Zealand. $b Nursing Service. $b Nursing Service. 650 0 $a Nurses $z Australia $v History. 650 0 $a Nurses $z New Zealand $v History. 650 0 $a Military nursing $z Australia $x History. 650 0 $a Military nursing $z New Zealand $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Participation, Female. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Medical care $z Australia. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Medical care $z New Zealand. 700 1 $a McGahan, Anna. $4 nrt 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719043406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE53E46A8B1D11E88D2A0A1E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
