Depicting a tale of bravery, loss and heartbreak, this much-loved Australian tale captures the Anzac spirit and celebrates the lifesaving work of WWI nurses.

Harefield, England. When the war arrives, Rose's life changes dramatically. Far from home, soldiers like Jim the Light Horse boy find themselves in the hard-working hands of nurses like Rose. Despite suffering their own casualties and losses, the compassion Rose provides to Jim tells an important piece of the Anzac story.
