Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Top and right foredge have light foxing. The front end page is missing the top corner, presumably to remove the inscription. Otherwise interior is excellent. Dust jacket has only minor creasing.

Women of the Voluntary Aid Detachments (VAD) and the Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS) served as aids to the professional staff of the medical service. They worked in Sri Lanka, Palestine, and Egypt, on the Dutch hospital Ship Oranje, in all Australian mainland states, in Papua New Guinea and in Singapore.

Others accompanied British occupation forces in Japan and served in the 130 A G Hospital at the beginning of the Korean War.

Eventually, the VAD/AAMWS was absorbed into the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps in 1951.

Mary Critch, who saw service herself, combines personal histories with official documents and photographs to create an absorbing history of the VAD and AAMWS.
