Join Belinda from Edgars Books & News and author Kirsty Harris as they discuss Kirsty’s book More Than Bombs and Bandages.
More than Bombs and Bandages exposes the false assumption that military nurses only nursed. Based on author Kirsty Harris’ CEW Bean Prize winning PhD thesis, this is a book that is far removed from the ‘devotion to duty’ stereotyping offering an intriguing and sometimes gut wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) during World War I. More than Bombs and Bandages provides rich pickings for all those interested in nursing history, women in the Australian military the application of medical treatments and World War I.
There will be two events with Kirsty on 11 September.
The first will be in Benalla at 2.30pm. Book your place HERE.
