What did Canadian nurses do in world war two?

Answer 1

Many were sent by converted hospital ships to various pacific islands that were under attack by the Japanese. Their role was to tend to the wounded allies who were mostly Australian and American but even sometimes tended to the Japanese.

One of the most infamous war crimes committed by Japan was the attack on an Australian hospital ship called the Centaur. Of the 332 nurses on board ony 64 survived, which at the time created an uproar among allied nations in response.
