Bayonets
& Bully Beef (theatre production) (2005 & 2009, Australia)
Bayonets
& Bully Beef is a play exploring Australian women's roles
on the battle fronts of World War 2. While many people are aware
of women's roles on the Home Front (which is covered in Bayonets
& Bully Beef's companion play PS I Love You), with a large
percentage of women working in the Auxiliary services such as
the AWAS, WAAAFS, WRANS, the Land Army and others, few are aware
of those women who actually served in battle.
This play has been written
to celebrate these brave women who fought in New Guinea, France,
the Middle East and the Pacific. Characters are based on actual
women who served during this time, with extensive research and
interviews with those individuals who were able and willing to
tell their stories.

the play, please visit the Official Bayonets & Bully Beef
Site here.
