Dorothy ‘Puss’ Campbell WW2 Army Nursing Sister

Her Great Adventure is a fresh, factual and engaging account of Australian army nursing in WW2.

One of 3600 members of the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS), Dorothy ‘Puss’ Campbell served in England, Egypt, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, Queensland and Adelaide .

Puss and her colleagues are shown nursing in many challenging circumstances. For the first time the sisters’ lives away from the wards come to light – their travels, sightseeing, friendships and romances.

Professional historian Dr Janet Scarfe has woven together Puss’s personal diaries and photographs, and the official records of the hospitals where she served.

The result is this ground-breaking book.
