Download Anzac Girls: The Extraordinary Story of Our World War I Nurses AudioBook Free
The harrowing, dramatic and profoundly moving history of the Australian and New Zealand nurses who served in the Great War. Now a major six-part tv set series. By the finish of the Great Battle, 45 Australian and New Zealand nurses had died on international service and over 200 had been decorated. They were the women who still left for war looking for excursion and relationship but were soon confronted with challenges for which their civilian lives could never have well prepared them. Their strength and dignity were amazing. Using diaries and words, Peter Rees takes us in to the clinic camps and the wards, and the tent surgeries on the advantage of some of the most horrific battlefronts of history. But he also allows the friendships and loves of the courageous and compassionate women to glow through and enrich our experience. Profoundly moving, Anzac Young ladies is a story of outstanding courage and mankind shown by several women whose contribution to the Anzac story has scarcely been recognised inside our record. Peter Rees has altered that understanding forever.
