Book review of "Guns and brooches: Australian Army Nursing from the Boer War to the Gulf War" by Jan Bassett Australia's army nurses were often in the line of fire during World War 1, working at the front in atrocious conditions. About 2300 members of the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) were the only women to serve overseas in an official capacity with the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). They nursed in hospitals in Egypt, Greece, England, France, Italy and Belgium. They were all qualified nurses and virtually all were single or widowed, between twenty-five and forty years old. The nurses were subject to clumsy attempts to impose military way upon them, such as having a group of nurses from No. 3 Australian General Hospital (AGH), wearing ankle-length dresses and bonnets, led by a piper, marching several kilometres to their hospital site on the island of Lemnos, Greece. Only to find hundreds of sick and wounded patients from Gallipoli lying on the ground waiting for them, but no equipment.A large newspaper clipping consisting of a title, six columns of text and a black and white photo of a woman in the winter nurse's uniform of the AIF.'Weekend Australian. / Nov. 1993' [blue ink, top right]wwii, world war two, ww2, wwi, ww1, world war one, korea, vietnam, pacific war, evelyn davies, alice davies, healesville, armistice, salonika, luna park, cairo, melbourne, nellie gould, jane bell, evelyn conyers, no. 1 agh, lemnos, spanish influenza, india, british, peshawar, carrel-dakin method, abbeville, ag butler, hardelot, mimie proctor, no. 2 australian casualty clearing station, messines, elsie tranter, accs, alice ross king, alice ross-king, university of melbourne
