![]() Naturally enough the eyes of the world are on the firing line and sometimes the work of the nurses, from the very firing line to the hospitals is overlooked. While men fight one another, women tend the wounded, and there can be no doubt at all but that theirs is the nobler part. I have also standardised spelling and capitalisation for readability. ![]() I have mostly used Sister in titles, but Nurse and Staff Nurse are used where necessary. The staff nurses did not like being referred to as such, preferring to be called Sister. Throughout the war, staff nurses and sisters were addressed as Sister, with matrons generally being called Miss. This book is not intended as a definitive history but more as a representative account, in the context of the unfolding war as it was seen by a few representing the many in Egypt, Lemnos, the hospital ships and the Western Front. I have attempted to tell the story of the war through the eyes of particular women, using their diaries and letters to show the conflict’s effect on them professionally and personally.
