Joyce Ffoulkes Parry was an Australian nurse who came to Britain in
1937 to rediscover her Welsh roots. When war was declared, she
signed up as a Queen Alexandra nurse and from 1940 until 1944, when
she left India to begin her married life in Wales, she served as a
sister in France, on hospital ships and in hospitals in Egypt,
India and the Far East. Her journal came to light after her death
in 1992. Out of the chaos of war emerges a unique voice telling a
vivid, compelling and honest story of adventure, bravery,
friendship, homesickness and wartime romance. Edited by her
daughter and published for the first time, Joyce's wry observations
about everything from the bureaucracy of the army to how poetry and
shopping helped sustain her through four difficult but
extraordinary years offer a fascinating glimpse into a vanished
world.
