Military Nurses Memorial

Join the Shire Military History Club and Metropolitan Memorial Parks at the auspicious unveiling of the new Military Nurses Memorial. This new memorial statue, located at the War Memorial site in Woronora Memorial Park, recognises all Australian nurses who have served our nation with courage, compassion and dedication.  Important information: The event is being held at the War Memorial, just to the left of the entry gates off Linden Rd, Sutherland. The memorial honours Australian War Nurses in all of Australia’s conflicts. The unveiling will be followed by an acknowledgement of the many nurses lost when the hospital ship Centaur was sunk in 1943. Meet local author Colin Burgess as he launches a new nurse history book – “Sisters Under Fire”. Everyone is welcome, especially those with an interest in nursing and military history. This project is a community led collaboration between Metropolitan Memorial Parks and Shire Military History Club. Parking is available in the memorial park or along Linden St. For more information or to RSVP, contact the Shire Military History Club: Geoff Ball 0403 021 851 | Clive Baker 0424 235 885 | warbookshop@bigpond.com Disclaimer: Photos may be taken on the day.
