Synopsis:

Marking the 100th anniversary of the WW1 Gallipoli campaign, Anzac Girls is landmark 6-part big budget TV series (More4) that follows the true stories of five Australian and New Zealand army nurses on their journey to the European warzone. Anzac Girls tells the harrowing but ultimately life-affirming story of five unsung heroines of the Great War.

Season 1
Adventure S1, Ep1 6 Oct. 2014
Our nurses arrive in Egypt and soon realize that war is not quite the 'splendid adventure' they initially thought as they deal with convoy after convoy of dead and dying men from the botched Gallipoli campaign.
Duty S1, Ep2 13 Oct. 2014
Overcoming intense hardship on the Greek island of Lemnos, Olive and Grace care for the injured troops from the botched August Offensive while Elsie fights to nurse her wounded husband Syd.
Endurance S1, Ep3 20 Oct. 2014
In Egypt, Alice and Elsie are confronted by the heart-wrenching reality of love during wartime, which reaches a breaking point for Elsie when she is forced to choose between her husband, Syd and her role abroad in the AANS. Whilst enduring the horrific conditions on Lemnos, Olive faces her greatest test of faith and resolve.
Love S1, Ep4 31 Aug. 2014
After being seconded to a British hospital in France, the girls come face-to-face with the snobbery of the British nursing staff, inciting them to reflect on their own national identity. Meanwhile, Alice is forced to face the emotional brutality of war as Harry is believed to have been killed at Fromelles.
Mateship S1, Ep5 7 Sep. 2014
Alice struggles to accept that Harry may have been killed; Hilda discovers an aptitude for anesthetics; Olive is proposed to by Pat; and Elsie returns to the war as part of the Croix Rouge.

Alice, Hilda and Elsie are stationed only kilometers from the front with the possibility of death edging ever closer, and the war seeming like it will never end.
