Fanny Goes to War - The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry - Angels of the Battlefield (Paperback)

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.
