About this listen

 This poignant account details the experiences of a dedicated nurse who found herself in France at the outbreak of World War I, serving until May 1915. The narrative, pieced together from her letters home, paints a vivid and at times harrowing picture of the casualties of war during that period. Initially based at the General Hospital in Le Havre, she soon found herself as one of the few sisters working on ambulance trains, ferrying the wounded from front-line Clearing Hospitals to the larger General Hospitals in Boulogne and Le Havre. Toward the end of her tale, she recounts her time at a Field Ambulance station near Ypres. This diary provides an unflinching look at the grim reality of war through the eyes of a nurse.Copyright Biographies and Memoirs Art Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences World
