Abstract
The onset of World War 1 placed immense strains on the medical treatment and evacuation plans and organisation of the Australian defence force. This article examines and describes the roles played in this essential service by the nurses of the Australian Army, many of whom found themselves serving in ships and sharing the risks and conditions experienced by all at sea in a war zone. The contribution that these women made led to the development of better nursing services in the war that followed in 1939.
