“Among a party of nurses who left Folkestone for the front,” says the
London _Daily Mail_ correspondent, “were a number of women wearing
riding breeches and spurs and long coats and helmets similar to those
worn in the tropics.
“Their duties will be to ride over the battlefield and look for the
wounded and render first aid, after which other nurses will convey the
stricken soldiers to the base hospital in motor cars. It is pointed out
that many wounded have died owing to not having received immediate
attention.”
