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. WWII WW2 World War Two Our War Nurses - The History of the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps 1902-1988 ...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 -

It was launched at the Naval Military and Air Forces Club of WA where about 150 for war nurses attended. In his book, Rupert calls out Major-General Gordon Bennett to accept some blame for the terrible fate that befell the nurses in the fall of Singapore in February 1942. Bennett had refused to let tje nurses to pm January 20 because he said it was bad for civilian morale in Singapore, a decision that "undoubtedly cost many lives later'. Perhaps the most harrowing experience of an army nurse belongs to the nurses of World War 1. "There were 600 men and not one with a whole face," wrote Sister Gertrude Moberly. "some of them had had 13 operations." As soon as she was out of sight of the hospital she sat down and cried.A large newspaper clipping consisting of two columns of text and a large black and white photo of and old woman and man holding and book open between them.'30/5/88' [blue ink, top left corner]ww1, wwi, world war one, ww2, wwii, world war two, tobruk, brisbane, western australia, bicentenary, universary of queensland, 2/4 australian general hospital, boer war, vivian statham, vivian bullwinkel -
