Angels of Mercy: Far West, Far East by Lynette Ramsay Silver

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Mark on inside front cover and title page. Body text and binding are still very good.

Compiled from edited memoirs, conversations, and interviews, Angels of Mercy follows the gripping stories of two Australian nursing sisters, Marjorie Silver and Pat Darling, who overcame the challenges of two very different circumstances.

In the 1930s, Marjorie, an outback flying sister, fought almost single-handedly against the isolation, poverty, heat and dust of the far west of NSW to bring vital assistance to far-flung patients. Sister Pat, who served in the Far East on the battlefields of Malaya and Singapore, then fought a desperate battle for survival in the prison camps of Sumatra. (back cover)
