Anzac Nurse at Villers-Bretonneux by Susanna de Vries and Phil Castle
Recorded Thursday 8 March 2018
Sister Florence James-Wallace was stationed at Villers-Brettoneaux during the early stages of the 1918 German offensive. She described it as resembling 'Dante's Inferno'. The hospital overflowed with badly wounded men and hundreds more lay in the streets on stretchers needing her nursing skills. This is her story.
You can learn more about Sister Florence James-Wallace and other Australian Nurses in Susanna de Vries's book Australian Heroines of the First World War.
