Sisters of the Somme true stories from a First World War Field Hospital by P Starns
Life and times working in a WWI Somme field hospital. Based on the previously unpublished true stories of its nurses and medical staff, this book is a collection of remarkable stories.
As World War I continued the casualties from the conflict were astronomical. Eclipsing all plans made by the Allied armies not only on the front line but also the rehabilitation of the wounded. Governments made appeals for trained medical staff.
Many women heeded the call, these young women were ill prepared for the anguished cries of the wounded. The stench of gangrene and trench foot awaiting them at the Somme battlefields.
