2012 ANZAC DAY STAMP AND COIN COVER
ANZAC Day is a day on which we honour all those who gave their lives in the service of their country. This year’s tribute salutes the nurses who have served, and continue to serve, in the Australian Defence Force.
These nurses have dealt with the face-to-face realities of war – the sick, the wounded, the dead and dying. They have served within Australia and in war zones across the world. They have worked behind the lines in field hospitals, on hospital ships and transports. In many cases, they have suffered the same deprivations as their patients, and sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
