Synopsis
A remarkable wartime's service, she nursed civilians through the blitz, volunteered to work in a 'Max Factor' plastic surgery unit, went with the troop in the early days following the D Day landings, and, in the front line fighting, served in the field hospitals from Normandy ti the Rhineland. Then, as victory turned to peace, was faced with the greatest challenge of her nursing career - the restoration to health and sanity of some of the survivors of the death camps.

From the Author
The war years add up to a small part of my life and yet have provided me with huge experiences, experiences which have brought me face to face with bravery, tragedy and even humour. Never to be forgotten are the qualities of the British soldier. Mostly men who did not choose this carrer, rather had it thrust upon them. I count myself privileged to have nursed milkmen and teachers, professors and barrow boys and I have been amazed at their spirit. But I still grieve over those young men who did not live to embrace a kinder future.
