Not Now Tomorrow by Alice M Bowman is the story of The Rabaul Nurses; Australian civilian and army nurses captured in New Guinea at the beginning of the Pacific theatre (1942 - 1945) of the Second World War, which began in Europe in 1939. The book traces the nurses' story from the approach of war in Rabaul until its dramatic ending in Japan. Not Now Tomorrow was published by Bowie's step-daughter, Claire Déglon Marriott, in 1997 under the house name of Daisy Press and bound and printed in Sydney, Australia, by the worthy team at DLT Printing.
