With First World War casualties mounting, there was an appeal for
volunteers to train as front-line medical staff. Many women heeded
the call: some responding to a vocational or religious calling,
others following a sweetheart to the front, and some carried away
on the jingoistic patriotism that gripped the nation in 1914.
Despite their training, these young women were ill-prepared for the
anguished cries of the wounded and the stench of gangrene and
trench foot awaiting them at the Somme. Isolated from friends and
family, most discovered an inner strength, forging new and close
relationships with each other and establishing a camaraderie that
was to last through the war and beyond. Based on the previously
unpublished true stories of its nurses and medical staff, this book
is a heart-warming account of the joys and sorrows of life in an
extraordinary Somme field hospital.
