- Abstract
- More than 500 New Zealand nurses served overseas in World War 1. At the end of the war, nearly a quarter of the country’s nursing workforce was still overseas. Most nurses served with the New Zealand Army Nursing Service (NZANS) but, in the early months of the war, before the NZANS had been sufficiently organised to send nurses, some joined the Australian service. Others went independently to Britain or were already there and joined services such as the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps (QAs), the French Flag Corps and Red Cross, or worked in British military hospitals or hospitals in France run by wealthy British women.
