About this listen
The harrowing, dramatic and profoundly moving story of the Australian and New Zealand nurses who served in the Great War. Now a major six-part television series.
By the end of the Great War, 45 Australian and New Zealand nurses had died on overseas service and over 200 had been decorated. These were the women who left for war looking for adventure and romance but were soon confronted with challenges for which their civilian lives could never have prepared them. Their strength and dignity were remarkable.
Using diaries and letters, Peter Rees takes us into the hospital camps and the wards, and the tent surgeries on the edge of some of the most horrific battlefronts of human history. But he also allows the friendships and loves of these courageous and compassionate women to shine through and enrich our experience.
Profoundly moving, Anzac Girls is a story of extraordinary courage and humanity shown by a group of women whose contribution to the Anzac legend has barely been recognised in our history. Peter Rees has changed that understanding forever.

Amazing!!!!!
The most amazing story, the research that has gone into the story was fantastic, as a student nurse the stories have inspired me to be the best nurse. The narration by Anna was captivating I’m so upset that I finished it in 2 days 💛🤭

Great insight of our girls
The book took me back in time to that era as I close my eyes and I can see each of these fine ladies at work and the sacrifice they gave. Thank you

Brilliant.
So well read and the story is so eye opening.
Nurses are usually left out of Anzac talk so it was wonderful to hear their stories.
Anna McGahan is excellent!

Excellent
Thoroughly enjoyed the story of “our girls” at time when women could do so little independently.
Would love to be able to see the images that exist with the physical book also.

Disapointed
Ive seen the tele-movie and really enjoyed this story, but listening to the dull drone of the narrators voice is intolerable. If there was a 0 star rating I would give it.
