Vivian Bullwinkel: The Story of an Australian Nurse that Survive Captivity
No Customer Reviews
The life of Vivian Bullwinkel is a powerful example of the incredible courage, strength, and altruism that can surface in the human spirit in the face of unfathomable hardship. Her story is an enduring episode in the larger saga of World War II, inextricably tied to the horror of the Banka Island massacre. Bullwinkel, who was born in South Australia, chose to pursue a career in nursing. She joined the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) because of her unyielding sense of duty and was assigned to the 2/13th Australian General Hospital. The growing fighting drove her to Singapore, which was soon overrun by the fighting. Her dangerous escape on board the tragic Vyner Brooke was a precursor to an even more terrifying experience.
