ANZAC nurses
I have been amazed by the bravery and dedication shown by ANZAC nurses during WW1 as I read ANZAC Girls by Peter Rees. What caring and hard working girls.
This book contains many heart-breaking stories but also stories of amazing courage and dedication. ANZAC nurses definitely need more recognition. Lest we forget.
