More Than Bombs and Bandages Australian WW1 Nurses the Anzac Girls New Book

Description: More Than Bombs and Bandages Aust WW1 Nurses the Anzac Girls More than Bombs & Bandages Australian Army nurses at work in World War 1 by Kirsty Harris The author's interest in the Australian Army Nursing Service began with a desire to find out as much as she could about her paternal grandmother, who was a member of the unit. Two books later, she has revealed a tremendous amount of information about the nurses who served as the Anzac Girls. This new book, More than Bombs and Bandages exposes the false assumption that military nurses only nursed. Based on author Kirsty Harris’ CEW Bean Prize-winning PhD thesis, this is a book that is far removed from the ‘devotion to duty’ stereotyping offering an intriguing and sometimes gut-wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) during World War I. More than Bombs and Bandages provides rich pickings for all those interested in nursing history, women in the Australian military the application of medical treatments and World War I. The appendices include a list of the Training Hospitals and the nurses who attended. What I enjoyed most about is Dr Kirsty Harris’s ability to reflect those nurses voices in a way that was so real – one could be there, the settings were so well understood from her research and the language kind of made a time warp in the reading. Very satisfying. As you know I have that Peter Rees book, but I could not get into it after reading the historical one. It was like comparing a great documentary to Face Book trivia!!! – Rev’d Dr Barbara Oudt Book Condition:: PERFECT - NEW BOOK Total Pages:: 344 Outer Cover on Book: : Soft Cover Books On War Australia will combine postage to Australian Destination for Max $15.90 (Items to be ordered same day).
