The 80th anniversary of the sinking of the AHS Centaur

On 14 May 1943, Australian Hospital Ship Centaur was on her way to Papua New Guinea to pick up wounded soldiers. She was torpedoed off the Queensland coast, with the loss of 268 lives, of whom 12 were nurses. Only one nurse survived, Sister Ellen Savage, who was awarded the George Medal for her bravery. After the war, she became a leader in nursing and was instrumental in setting up the Royal College of Nursing Australia. This webinar will discuss the AHS Centaur and the nurses who served on her.
