Dor: The Story of a World War I Nurse and Other Nurses' Stories From That Time by Ann Grylls

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Inscribed by author.

For author Ann Grylls, the difficult task of sorting through her mother-in-law's papers after her death led to a journey of research, discovery, and travel.

'Dor' is the inspiring story of Doris Grylls, nee Eastwood, who served as a nurse in the Australian Army during World War I and again showed her fortitude during the Great Depression on the Western Australian Wheatbelt.

A century after Gallipoli, Ann and her husband Jack traced the footsteps of Australia's World War I nurses. This book is Ann's tribute to a generation of women who talked little about resilience but displayed that quality in spades. (back cover)
