4.9/5 (15218 ratings)

Description:The dominant histories of the First World War describe and analyse battles, statistics and remarkable tales of courage:Courage which often begins and ends on the battlefield. Veiled Lives reveals, through the recorded experiences of Australian nurses, the courage of the soldiers that was often apparent after the battle; in the hospital wards.A short history of medicine, nursing and the allied health professions provides a backdrop to developments in these areas which were accelerated by the alarming number of casualties in 1914-18. Diseases such as plague, typhoid, dysentery, cholera and the H1N1 influenza virus were commonplace on and off the battlefields. Rapid advances in the fields of pathology, radiology and immunology enabled greater survival rates amongst casualties.Anti-sepsis, blood transfusions and advancements in anaesthesia were critical developments in the operating theatres of frontline Casualty Clearing Stations. Shell-shock was virtually unrecorded until the First World War. The soldiers and nurses who suffered from this condition endured an additional agony when they were stigmatised as cowards or wastrels. Fortunately, this changed as the war progressed and the condition was finally confronted by the medical and nursing professions.While Ruth Rae has previously written about the army life of First World War nurses (Scarlet Poppies & From Narromine to the Nile) she has in, Veiled Lives, delved into the social history of individual nurses to unveil their personal and family lives which are interspersed with their wartime stories.
