This book, the second in a series of four unique War Diaries
produced in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum, tells a story
that is rarely heard: the experiences of a nurse working close to
the Western Front in the First World War. Incredibly, Edith
Appleton served in France for the whole of the conflict. Her
bravery and dedication won her the Military OBE, the Royal Red
Cross and the Belgian Queen Elizabeth medal among others. Her diary
details with compassion all the horrors of the 'war to end wars',
including the first use of poison gas and the terrible cost of
battles such as Ypres, but she also records what life was like for
nurses and how she spent her time off-duty. There are moments of
humour amongst the tragedy, and even lyrical accounts of the
natural beauty that still existed amidst all the destruction.
