Description

Hanrahan qualified as a registered nurse in 1940 and joined the New Zealand Army Nursing Service in July 1943. She sailed the same month from Wellington as a nurse aboard the Dutch hospital ship `Oranje'. During 1943 and early 1944 the `Oranje' made several trips between Port Said and South Africa and Australia and New Zealand. In the later part of 1944 the `Oranje' travelled mainly between the United Kingdom and Italy carrying wounded military personnel. Hanrahan left the ship in Cairo in Dec 1944 and served in the Cairo Number One General Hospital for the remainder of her war service. The diaries cover the period 30 June 1943-31 December 1944 and describe her experiences aboard the `Oranje'.
