Anzac Girls

Just after the start of World War I, the Anzac girls arrive in Egypt and discover that war is actually not the splendid adventure they believed it would be.

On the Greek island of Lemnos, Olive and Grace must care for troops injured by the botched August Offensive. In Egypt, Elsie must fight to stay at the hospital in order to save the life of her mortally wounded husband, Syd.

Alice and Elsie face the painful reality of love during wartime when Elsie must choose between caring for her husband and her role in the AANS.

When they are moved to a British hospital in France, the Anzac girls are confronted with some snobbish British nurses, leading them to reflect on their own national identity in the war.

While Alice struggles with the thought that Harry may have been killed, Hilda learns of her aptitude for anesthetics, Olive is confronted with a proposal, and Elsie returns to aid the war effort as part of the Croix Rouge.

Alice, Hilda, and Elsie find themselves on the front lines of battle when Germans bomb the care center where they are working. With the possibility of death hanging over them, they must persevere through the seemingly endless war.
