The Angels of the Battlefield Series Fanny Goes to War. The tales
of the FIRST AID NURSING YEOMANRY in World War I. Originally riding
into combat on horseback to aid the wounded, England's First Aid
Nursing Yeomanry was formed in 1907 by a military officer who
thought that a single rider could respond quicker than a cumbersome
horse-drawn ambulance. By the time they were deployed during The
First World War, the members of "Fanny" had moved on to horseless
carriages, driving early ambulances into the combat zones. Yet
their mission became no less dangerous as these woman risked their
lives on battlefields far from home. In addition to rescuing the
wounded from the front line, they ran the hospitals and tended to
the troops, feeding and entertaining the wounded. "Fanny Goes to
War" takes us back to those war torn fields and shows how the
members of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry showed their bravery on
the battlefield and their lust for life off it.
