Nurses at war – Anna Rogers at South Library, Saturday 25 July

 

Cover of While you're awayWe know quite a lot about New Zealand men at war. Less is known about the lives of military nurses. Anna Rogers, author of While You’re Away: New Zealand Nurses at War 1899–1948, will talk about the contribution made by these remarkable women and speak about three nurses – two of them from Canterbury – who served overseas in South Africa, the First World War and the Second World War.
