A Nurses’ ‘Comforts'

Louisa Scobie was the sixth daughter of a prominent Maitland agricultural family who became Matron of Crown Street Women's Hospital in 1913. The following she left for Egypt with the first group of Australian nurses, working in the field throughout the war. This book looks at the role nurses played in the dreadful theatres of war at Gallipoli, France and Belgium through the diary and letters of a committed nurse.
