Enjoyable Australian Series

I have been enjoying this series and its stories show the issues with WWI. I have found the love stories interesting as they highlight how these nurses did FIND love and did LOSE love in war. It also shows the conditions that these Anzac nurses had to work in. I have been interested in the use of great actors such as John Waters and Caroline Craig. The use of young actresses are utilising the newer talent of Australia. while some may say it is "romanticising" war, it shows the perils and hardships of war. The fact it is a 6 weeks series makes it great for weekly viewing. Also allusions to great battles is very evident and very useful in people following the "timeline" Use of the first ANZAC day was very poignant and demonstrated how much the nurses/patients knew about what was going on in the war. It is a great series. Congratulations ABC.
