Over the next four years, the two cared for each other through sickness and health, air raids and bombings, unrelenting work, and adventurous leaves. This thoughtfully curated collection of their letters home paints a vivid account of nursing through the battles of Gallipoli, Passchendaele, and beyond. Mildred and Laura were remarkably forthright, revealing how they relied on friendship, humour, and professional ethics to carry on in the face of mismanagement, discrimination, deprivation, and trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea McKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774832541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774832540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Andrea McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447776588031,"sku":"9780774832540","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b9a981e-c70a-4df5-875c-d8ccc75fb474.jpg?v=1777234735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-torn-exchanges-andrea-mckenzie-9780774832540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
