Simpson, Kate,

Anzac girl. The war diaries of Alice Ross-King / Kate Simpson & illustrations by Jess Racklyeft. - Crows Nest, NSW : Allen & Unwin, 2020. - 1 volume (unpaged); colour illustrations; 31 cm.

It was 1914 when Sister Alice Ross-King left Australia for the war. Nursing was her passion - all she had ever wanted to do. But Alice couldn't have imagined what she would see. She served four long years and was brave, humble and endlessly compassionate. Using extracts from Alice's actual diaries kept in the Australian War Memorial, this true story captures the danger, the heartache and the history of the young nurse who would one day become the most decorated woman in Australia.
