About This Item
Sydney: ABC Books, 2006. Paperback octavo, very good condition, single colour text-photos, minor edgewear. 272 pp. In this very special book that captures the ANZAC spirit, nurse Narrelle Hobbes left her comfortable life in Australia to go to London to join the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve. By 1915 she was in Malta, healing the wounded from Gallipoli, then transferred to Sicily, then India and Mesopotamia, to deal with the fall-out from other fronts. Exhausted and ill, she convalesced in the hill stations of the Himalayas. The author uses Narelle's letters and photos to trace one woman's extraordinary journey through the exhilaration and tragedy of the 'war to end all wars'.
