This poignant tribute remembers the nurses of the ANZACs, the extraordinary women who served with courage, compassion and resilience during the First World War and beyond. From frontline casualty clearing stations to hospital ships and base hospitals, thousands of Australian and New Zealand nurses cared for the wounded and sick in harsh and often dangerous conditions. Their dedication, skill and quiet strength saved countless lives and embodied the spirit of service that ANZAC Day honours. Their contribution, though sometimes overlooked, remains an essential part of Australia and New Zealand’s wartime history.
