Hi, Sandra! Both “Mercy Street” and “Anzac Girls” are very good. I admire their storytelling, and am sad the latter didn’t get more time to grown and expand on its wonderful characters. It is sad to see that there was still (despite the many years between!) medical care that went unattended due to supplies or lack of personal. But it’s nice to see these spunky Anzac girls do everything – even if they did have to get creative to help, they could to ease the suffering and save the lives of the soldiers.

Watching them both, I was struck by how little had changed in the fifty years between the two wars: the doctors were still contemptuous of the nurses, saying there was nothing they could do that an orderly couldn’t; there was still a criminal lack of everything necessary to treat the wounded ( the Anzacs had to rip up their petticoats to make bandages) etc.
