To Nurse in a War a World Away

The few facts available from the archival material of the Lowrey nursing sisters who served in the First World War 1914-18 had to be combined with fiction in order to create a story. The narrative endeavours to pattern real-life events against the background of the War. The story is not a definitive coverage of the Lowrey sisters and their professional nursing experience. My intent was to bring the subjects to life within a narrative and hoped the story would be of interest to others, especially those from the nursing profession. The book is to honour these nurses whose names would otherwise only be known on a tombstone in a small cemetery in Stroud, New South Wales.
