Pat Darling was a member of the 10th Australian General Hospital which arrived into Singapore with the 8th Division AIF on the 18th February 1941. This is an extremely well written and detailed account of the nurses time in Singapore and then their evacuation on the Vyner Brooke 14th February 1942.

Excellent accounts of the sinking and later POW life.

Portrait of a Nurse would be of high interest to anyone interested in researching the predicament of Australian nurses in Singapore and later POW.
