Summary: 5 Stars
Author, Lyn MacDonald, has collected the stories of the British Volunteer Aide Detachments who served as nurse's aides in World War I. It's all here: grueling training, long hours, strict matrons, the horrors of the battlefield, and their devotion to the wounded men who they cared for. These dedicated women labored in a world before antibiotics where a simple cut could turn gangrenous in the manure-laden fields of Flanders and France. They were often the last person a solider saw before dying, and Ms. MacDonald has preserved their stories for posterity.
