Dispatches from the Frontline
Dispatches from the Frontline is a podcast series from the diary entries of Sister Nan Reay (Royal Red Cross), an Australian nurse who served behind the front line during World War 1. Nan Reay's diary takes us to the most tragic aspects of war, but also includes lighthearted moments of camaraderie and humour. Whilst these dispatches celebrate this nurse's personal resilience, courage and persistence, they also reference contemporary experiences of care, servitude, resilience and courage, embodied daily by front line health workers during the COVID pandemic.
