Description
Thesis 'Forgotten Women of the Forgotten War: Australian Nurses in the Korean War, 1950-1956'. Examines the Korean War from the military nursing perspective. Looks at the work and experiences of Royal Australian Air Force Nursing Service (RAAFNS) and Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps (RAANC) nurses, including their service in Japan and the post-armistice period. Highlights the full extent of the Australian military nursing contribution to war by tracing the work and experiences of nurses in Japan and Korea, ending with the diversity and complexity of their return to Australia. Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New England, August 2010.
