For over 100 years Australia’s military nurses have been risking their own lives to save the lives of others. From nursing Gallipoli wounded in Egypt during World War I, to treating injured troops and civilians in modern day Afghanistan, with skill, devotion, and compassion these courageous nurses have cared for the casualties of war.

With historic photographs, quotes from past and present-day nurses, fascinating facts and medical breakthroughs, questions and fun activities, it provides engaging and informative reading for children, adults and educators.

About the Author
Jacqui Halpin is a former registered nurse, turned children's author. Her passion for children's books came when reading bedtime stories to her three children. She now enjoys reading her own picture books to her grandchildren. Jacqui has a passion for history which was sparked by stories of her larrikin father's childhood escapades and tales from her mother who was an army nurse and midwife in the UK during the 'Call the Midwife' era. Jacqui lives in Brisbane where she bakes too many cakes, drinks too much tea, and eats way too much chocolate.
