Download or read book Edith Blake’s War written by Krista Vane-Tempest and published by NewSouth Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early hours of 26 February 1918, the British hospital ship Glenart Castle steamed into the Bristol Channel, heading for France to pick up wounded men from the killing fields of the Western Front. On board was 32-year-old Australian nurse, Edith Blake. Unbeknown to the ship’s company, a German U-boat lurked in the waters below. When Edith Blake missed out on joining the Australian Army, she was one of 130 Australian nurses allotted to the British Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service in early 1915. Her first posting was in Cairo where she nursed soldiers wounded at Gallipoli. In Edith’s remarkable letters to her family back home, she shares her homesickness and frustration with military rules, along with the savagery of the injuries she witnessed in the operating theatre. Later, at Belmont War Hospital in Surrey, she writes of her conflicted feelings about nursing German prisoners of war even as battles on the Western Front raged and German aircraft bombed England. In Edith Blake’s War, her great niece, Krista Vane-Tempest, traces Edith’s gripping story, from training in Sydney to her war service in the Middle East, England and the Mediterranean, and her tragic death in waters where Germany had promised the safe passage of hospital ships. ‘Beautifully written and an engaging read, Edith Blake’s War opens a window on unsung areas of Australian nurses’ service at war. Krista Vane-Tempest’s meticulous research enhances understanding but never intrudes, as Sister Blake’s own voice brings her wartime experiences vibrantly to life. An ultimately moving book born of connection to family across generations.’ — Janet Butler ‘Edith Blake’s story powerfully evokes the horrors and dangers of nursing during the Great War while capturing the poignant and special bond Australian nurses forged with Anzac soldiers. Krista Vane-Tempest deftly weaves the larger context of the war throughout Edie’s remarkable letters home and gives her the long overdue recognition her courage warrants.’ — Peter Rees ‘More than a biography, Krista Vane-Tempest has penned a tribute to the contribution and sacrifice of Australian women during the First World War. In doing so, she has rediscovered the evocative story of Edith Blake, nurse to the Anzacs and British troops and whose life was tragically lost in that terrible conflict.’ — Karl James

Download or read book White Coolies written by Betty Jeffrey and published by Thomas t Beeler. This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942 a group of sixty-five Australian Army nursing sisters was evacuated from Malaya a few days before the fall of Singapore. Two days later their ship was bombed and sunk by the Japanese. Of the fifty-three survivors who scrambled ashore, twenty-one were murdered and the remaining thirty-two taken prisoner. White Coolies is the engrossing record kept by one of the sisters, Betty Jeffrey, during the more than three gruelling years of imprisonment that followed. It is an amazing story of survival and deprivation and the harshest of conditions.

Download or read book Sisters in Captivity written by Colin Burgess and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible account of Sister Betty Jeffrey OAM and the Australian war nurses who survived the bombing of evacuation ship SS Vyner Brooke in February 1942, and subsequently spent three years in Japanese prison camps in Sumatra. During those perilous years surviving in squalid conditions, Sister Jeffrey kept a secret diary of day-to-day events which, after the war, was turned into a hugely successful book and radio serial: White Coolies. She would often write of the powerful sisterhood that evolved as the prisoners of war took strength from each other, even forming a vocal orchestra. White Coolies was a major inspiration for the 1997 film Paradise Road. Sisters in Captivity builds on those diaries to not only re-live the years the nurses spent as POWs but also recounts the early life and influences that encouraged Betty Jeffrey into the field of nursing as a lifelong endeavour. A tireless advocate for returned nurses, she co-founded the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre with sole survivor of the Banka Island Massacre, fellow POW, and her longtime friend Vivian Bullwinkel. Featuring 32 pages of photos including personal mementos of Betty Jeffrey, courtesy of her family, and her drawings from the prison camps, this is a powerful account of women’s resilience amidst the devastating brutality of war.

Download or read book On Radji Beach written by Ian W. Shaw and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Singapore fell dramatically to the Japanese on 15 February 1942, hundreds of people scrambled to leave. Amongst the evacuees were 65 Australian nurses who boarded coastal freighter "Vyner Brooke" which Japanese bombers sank. The largest group of nurses that made it to shore gathered at Radji Beach. Eventually the shipwreck survivors surrendered to the Japanese rather than slowly starve to death. The Japanese did not accept their surrender and divided the Europeans into three groups and killed all in turn. The Australian nurses were in the third group, and 21 of them died in a hail of bullets as they walked into the waters off the beach. There was one survivor, Vivian Bullwinkel, and she went on to survive the various camps and diseases that took away several of her friends.

Book excerpt: The practice of enlisting women as nurses in the organised medical services of an army at war is of relatively recent origin. Military nursing, as it is sometimes called, has its origins in the development of nursing stretching back over many centuries, a history in which religion, war and science have been interwoven in the development of the nursing profession. Civilian nursing has come a long way over more than twenty centuries of caring for the sick, at times stimulated by advances in war, at times facing periods of decline. In part, its development had to wait on advances in medicine and science to give it credibility, respectability, certainty and status. Through it all, religious orders gave the profession qualities of compassion, dedication and caring which are the very heart of nursing, whether in civil life or in the army. This story is concerned with the evolution of military nursing in the context of religion, war and medical science. In a sense it grew out of civilian nursing but in later years the two branches of the profession grew side by side, each gaining from the other. Nursing is one of the oldest activities of mankind, for the care of the sick, the nourishment of the young and the welfare of the older members of society have always been of concern to the family and to particular individuals and groups in society. Queensland nurses will continue to make a valuable contribution to the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps in the decades ahead, wherever the call of duty may lead them.

Book excerpt: THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BBC DRAMA THE CRIMSON FIELD 'On the face of it, ' writes Lyn Macdonald, 'no one could have been less equipped for the job than these gently nurtured girls who walked straight out of Edwardian drawing rooms into the manifest horrors of the First World War ...' Yet the volunteer nurses rose magnificently to the occasion. In leaking tents and draughty huts they fought another war, a war against agony and death, as men lay suffering from the pain of unimaginable wounds or diseases we can now cure almost instantly. It was here that young doctors frantically forged new medical techniques - of blood transfusion, dentistry, psychiatry and plastic surgery - in the attempt to save soldiers shattered in body or spirit. And it was here that women achieved a quiet but permanent revolution, by proving beyond question they could do anything. All this is superbly captured in The Roses of No Man's Land, a panorama of hardship, disillusion and despair, yet also of endurance and supreme courage. 'Lyn Macdonald writes splendidly and touchingly of the work of the nurses and doctors who fought their humanitarian battle on the Western Front' Sunday Telegraph Over the past twenty years Lyn Macdonald has established a popular reputation as an author and historian of the First World War. Her books are based on the accounts of eyewitnesses and survivors, told in their own words, and cast a unique light on the First World War. Most are published by Penguin.
