Book Synopsis Willingly Into the Fray by : Catherine McCullagh
Download or read book Willingly Into the Fray written by Catherine McCullagh and published by Big Sky Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WILLINGLY INTO THE FRAY comprises the personal stories of sixty-five individual nurses, their voices preserved and their words, often fraught with emotion and mired in distress at what they have seen, endured and railed against, carefully retained. Many of these stories are told for the first time, particularly those of the recent campaigns, peacekeeping operations, disaster relief and humanitarian missions. These are men and women who, like those before them, often worked in the most primitive conditions, as one nurse remarked tellingly, 'with TLC and little more'. It is typical of Australian Army nurses to proceed 'willingly into the fray', often with little warning, but always with courage, determination and a strong sense of humour. In the hundred or so years since the first intrepid Boer War nurses set out, Australian Army nurses have forged a proud and enviable reputation. They are justifiably renowned for their determination to provide quality medical care despite extreme privation, perilous circumstances, and a lack of the most rudimentary medical equipment. If this is the reputation they can forge in the face of such adversity, then we have much to look forward to over the next one hundred years.

Book excerpt: "Tour of Duty - Memories of an Army Nurse" is a deeply moving memoir that unfolds through a series of heartfelt letters written by an Army nurse to her parents during her service in the Vietnam War. This collection of correspondence offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the daily realities, emotional struggles, and profound transformations experienced by a young woman far from home, yet at the heart of one of history's most contentious wars. The book begins with the author's initial letters, filled with optimism and a sense of adventure, as she embarks on her journey to Vietnam. Her early descriptions paint a vivid picture of the country's landscape and her eagerness to make a difference. As the memoir progresses, the tone of the letters shifts, reflecting the author's confrontation with the brutalities of war and the suffering she witnesses in the EVAC hospital where she is stationed. Through her words to her parents, the nurse shares the bonds she forms with her fellow medical staff and the soldiers they treat. She writes of the long, grueling hours, the sounds of helicopters delivering the wounded, and the race against time to provide critical care. The letters are punctuated with moments of humanity-soldiers sharing stories of home, the laughter amidst tears, and the small acts of kindness that provide solace in a war-torn environment. This memoir is a powerful tribute to the courage and sacrifice of military nurses. It provides readers with a personal, unfiltered account of the Vietnam War, as seen through the eyes of a compassionate and courageous woman who served her country with honor. "Tour of Duty - Memories of an Army Nurse" is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history, nursing, or the transformative power of writing through adversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing Through Shot and Shell is the previously unpublished memoir of Beatrice Hopkinson, who served in France as a Territorial Nursing Sister from 1917-19. Beatrice worked close to the front line at casualty clearing stations, and her poignant account reveals the intense strain: 'I never realized what the word ÒdutyÓ meant until this War. To stand at one's post, never flinching and trying to keep the boys cheerful; all the time wondering when our time would come.' ??The memoir reveals the lighter side of wartime life, with entertainments, travel and enduring friendships. Beatrice also describes the practical realities of war in vivid detail Ð sleeping in dug outs, dodging bombs and avoiding rats 'as big as a good sized kitten'. A fascinating, close-up view of one women's life during wartime.

Book Synopsis Tears On My Pillow by : Narelle Biedermann
Download or read book Tears On My Pillow written by Narelle Biedermann and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Don't forget your cotton underwear, girls!" Most books that look at the involvement of Australians in the Vietnam War rarely allude to the role of nurses. But war and nursing are unequivocally linked. A total of 43 Australian Army nursing sisters were sent to Vietnam between April 1967 and November 1971, undertaking tours of up to 12 months. The nurses were assigned to a military hospital in a war zone with little advanced preparation, particularly as clinicians with exposure to trauma, critical care or theatre. The contribution of these women undoubtedly affected many soldiers in profound ways. Tears on My Pillow describes the experiences of nursing in the Vietnam War using the words, voices and photographs of these servicewomen. These veterans tell tales of femininity interspersed with the reality of the military environment through their stories of trauma, distress, tears and grief that went on for many years, and stories of underwear, fun and the basic things in life.
