More Than Bombs and Bandages: Australian Army Nurses at Work in World War I (Australian Army History Collection)

An intriguing and sometimes gut-wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service during WWI, with a focus on individuals' own words and recollections to illustrate the vast array of roles and skills that the AANS had during the Great War. 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.
