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.
Both evidence-rich and personal, More than Bombs and
Bandages focuses on the individuals, using their own
words and recollections to illustrate the vast array of
roles and skills the AANS had during the Great War.
Harris draws on personal diaries, interviews, service
records, hospital diaries and autobiographies to create
an absorbing and meticulously constructed book.
Kirsty Harris has both an academic and military
background. She is an accomplished historian who has
undertaken a considerable amount of reconstructive work
to create the robust database of information and little
known facts that underpin More than Bombs and Bandages.
She hopes that her work will allow those both inside and
outside the nursing world to gain a better appreciation
of the work these nurses did during World War I.
