SOURCES AND FURTHER READING: This story draws on the extensive collections relating to Narrelle Hobbes at the Australian War Memorial PR3708 and 2DRL/0162; as well as Melanie Oppenheimer’s fine book, Oceans of Love (Sydney: ABC Books, 2006). Narrelle’s war service and her death just off the coast of Australia were reported on in the press and this story has drawn on these contemporary newspaper articles. For further reading on the work of nurses during war see Jan Bassett, Guns and Brooches : Australian Army Nursing from the Boer War to the Gulf War (Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1992); and Kirsty Harris, More than Bombs and Bandages : Australian Army Nurses at Work in World War I (Newport: Big Sky Publishing, 2011).
