The life stories of 33 First World War Nurses who had a presence in the South West of Western Australia.

These stories are full of spirit, determination, selfless dedication and devotion to duty by our women who have been grossly under-acknowledged for over one hundred years.

Read about Collie Nurse Coleman, the first Australian Nurse to enlist for service in the First World War, who was taken as a Prisoner of War and is regarded as Australia's first truly International Nurse. Australind born Nurse Clifton was awarded an MBE for her contribution to nursing in Western Australia.

Ex- Bunbury Hospital Matron Kiernan was chosen to act as private nurse to Lord John Forrest on troop ship HMAT74 Marathon from Albany, to London, to be the first Australian to be awarded a peerage. Tragically, he died on 2nd September 1918 while the ship was anchored off the coast of Sierra Leone Africa.
