N1  - "Inspired by the exploits of Maud Butler... 100 years of ANZAC the spirit lives 2014-2018"--Cover; For primary school age
N2  - Maud Butler from Kurri Kurri NSW was an adventurous girl who ran away to enlist in the army and serve her country in World War One. However, in World War One, women were not allowed to fight and Maud's application was rejected. Dressed as a boy soldier, she stowed away twice, only to be discovered and returned home. Rejected by the Red Cross as a nurse, Maud never gave up and cleverly found other ways she could help. Written by John Gillam and Yvonne Fletcher and illustrated by artist Paul Durell, this book tells of Maud's adventures while seeking to help her countrymen. It also highlights the restrictions and accomplishments made by the women of Australia during the Great War. Children will find inspiration in Maud's story of determination to pursue her dreams and succeed. One hundred years after Maud's arrests, Australian women may now serve in every role of the Australian Defence Force
