{"product_id":"9780980658262-secondhand-willingly-into-the-fray-one-hundred-years-of-australian-army-nursing","title":"Willingly into the Fray: One Hundred Years of Australian Army Nursing","description":"Willingly into the Fray comprises the personal stories of\nsixty-five individual nurses, their voices preserved and\ntheir words, often fraught with emotion and mired in\ndistress at what they have seen, endured and railed\nagainst, carefully retained. Many of these stories are\ntold for the first time, particularly those of the recent\ncampaigns, peacekeeping operations, disaster relief and\nhumanitarian missions.\nThese are men and women who, like those before them,\noften worked in the most primitive conditions, as one\nnurse remarked tellingly, `with TLC and little more'. It\nis typical of Australian Army nurses to proceed\n`willingly into the fray', often with little warning, but\nalways with courage, determination and a strong sense of\nhumour.\nIn the hundred or so years since the first intrepid Boer\nWar nurses set out, Australian Army nurses have forged a\nproud and enviable reputation. They are justifiably\nrenowned for their determination to provide quality\nmedical care despite extreme privation, perilous\ncircumstances, and a lack of the most rudimentary medical\nequipment. If this is the reputation they can forge in\nthe face of such adversity, then we have much to look\nforward to over the next one hundred years.\nWillingly into the Fray provides a rare opportunity for\nthe reader, to take a personal journey through the lives\nof Army nurses from the early days of 1899 to modern\ntimes, and to experience the vast changes in society that\naccompanied those hundred or so years.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49223458783451,"sku":"9780980658262-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fce2d8e8-09c6-4089-8881-f953fef22fed.jpg?v=1788529461","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780980658262-secondhand-willingly-into-the-fray-one-hundred-years-of-australian-army-nursing","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
