Formed in early 1915, the first group of 50 NZANS nurses departed New Zealand on 8 April 1915 to join the NZ Expeditionary Force. During the course of the war the members of the NZANS saw service aboard hospital ships and hospitals in Egypt, Salonika, France and England. Ten NZANS nurses lost their lives when HMT Marquette was torpedoed off the coast of Salonika on 23 October 1915.
