Our war heroines have always received less attention than their male counterparts, but Dr Rupert Goodman is helping to set the record straight, with the first book to give a comprehensive history of Australia's war nurses. Among those commemorated in the book are the nurses killed or died in action in World War II. Dr Goodman says one of the most outstanding episodes was the sinking of the hospital ship, the Centaur, off Brisbane by a Japanese sub. Of 11 sisters, one survived, Sister Savage and she kept up the morale of the survivors in shark-infested waters for 24 hours. Another was Sister Anderson, who was tending wounded on deck aboard the Empire Star and threw herself over a Digger to protect him from strafing as they were escaping from the fall of Singapore. Or the Banka Island massacre. Twenty three nurses were ordered to march into the sea and were shot dead. Only one survived, Sister Vivian Bullwinkel, after feigning death, she returned to shore tended to a wounded solider, then was captured and became a POW.A newspaper clipping of three columns of text with a black and white photo above of three women, two obviously in nurse's uniformwwii, ww2, world war two, our war nurses - the history of the royal australian army nursing corps 1902-1988, george medal, banker island, edith cavell, world war 1, world war one, ww1, wwi, war memorial, canberra

Gallipoli nurses - unsung heroines During World War One the Allies used a loophole to establish a medical base at Lemnos, in the Greek Islands. A group of ninety-six formed the No. 3 Australian General Hospital (AGH). The hospital at Lemnos was meant for soldiers who were not badly wounded, they were to be treated and then returned to duty. However, many died. After one horrific battle at Quinn's Post, Gallipoli, Turkey, 700 casualties arrived on a ship that had no medical officer and had been used to transport horses, with the unclean conditions contributing to the men's suffering. After the initial landing at Anzac Cove, Galllipoli, 1700 casualties were taken aboard hospital ships. For many of them nothing could be done, so the nurses helped them die with dignity. Sister's war against suffering A Tasmanian nurse, Sister Ella Tucker, was working on the hospital ship, Gascon, anchored off Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, Turkey. She provides her accoun tof the landing and fighting: "...Even by nine in the morning the first wounded are coming back... I am responsible, with the help of medical students for seventy-six... by two the next morning we have done all the dressings and hace attended to a number of fractures... The boys are bricks... the think the ship is heaven after the peninsula... by the end of the day we have 557 patients and only seven nurses to look after them.... we can't do anything elses for them except their dressings..."

These women had the courage and strength for with the Anzacs are renowns and the compassion and tenderness that only a woman can bring. Sister Hilda Samsing from Melbourne became a whistleblower when nursing aboard the hospital ship Gascon, outraged by the bungled evacuation of wounded Anzacs. She defied censorship and kept a very frank diary, reproduced here for the first time. In 1914, Louise Creed, a Sydney journalist, was caught in the besieged city of Antwerp and mad a hair-raising escape from a German firing squad. Brisbane's Grace Wilson, ordered to establish an emergency hospital on drought-stricken Lemnos Island, arrived there to find suffering Anzacs but no drinking water, tents or medical supplies. Grace and her nurses saved the lives of thousands who had been wounded at Lone Pine and The Nek. In France, Florence James-Wallace, Anne Donnell and Elsie Tranter nursed near the front line in the Casualty Clearing Stations, treating soldiers with hideous wounds or blinded by mustard gas. In 1918 they had to deal with an epidemic of Spanish flu, but their heroism was quickly forgotten. Two of these women received such meagre pensions, they died destitute. Publication of this book with its numerous illustrations has been facilitated by a generous donation from Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, keen that these stories become known to Australians of all ages.'
