AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Queenie is the evocative, moving and at times entertaining story, told through her letters home, of a young Army nurse's perceptions of the events, people and places she experienced during the cataclysmic years of the First World War. Queensland's youngest hospital matron at the age of 25, Gympie-born Edith Florence Avenell, usually known by her nickname Queenie, enlisted in the Australian Army Nursing Service the day after the ANZAC troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed at Gallipoli.'
