Meet the author - Kirsty Harris

Next date: Thursday, 11 September 2025 | 06:30 PM

Join author Kirsty Harris with Belinda from Edgars Books & News, as they discuss Kirsty’s book More Than Bombs and Bandages.

More than Bombs and Bandages exposes the false assumption that military nurses only nursed. Based on author Kirsty Harris’ CEW Bean Prize winning PhD thesis, this is a book that is far removed from the ‘devotion to duty’ stereotyping offering an intriguing and sometimes gut-wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) during World War I. More than Bombs and Bandages provides rich pickings for all those interested in nursing history, women in the Australian military the application of medical treatments and World War I.

Following the talk, Kirsty will sign copies of her book.

This event is proudly presented in collaboration with Edgars Books and News.
