_Illustrated, cloth, $1.25_
High courage, deep sympathy without sentimentality, and an all-saving
sense of humour amid dreadful and depressing conditions are the salient
features of this diary of a war nurse. She has been “over the top” in
the fullest sense; she has faced bombardments and aërial raids; she has
calmly removed her charges under fire; she has tended the wounded and
dying amid scenes of carnage and confusion, and she has created order
and comfort where but a short time before all was confusion and
discomfort. All the while she marvels at the uncomplaining fortitude of
others, never counting her own. Many unusual experiences have befallen
the “war nurse” and she writes of them all in vivid, gripping fashion.
“Unlike most volumes which have dealt with this subject, the nurse gives
some delightful reminiscences which are more closely identified with
impressions recorded in her heart than with conventional entries in a
diary. The inspired recollections of the author constitute an important
contribution to war literature.”--_Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger._
“To say that ‘A War Nurse’s Diary’ is an unusual book, the only one of
its kind, would be putting the matter much too mildly. In fact, it seems
nothing short of a miracle that any woman should be willing to enlist
for such service as the author of this volume, and, having enlisted,
that she should survive to write about it.”--_Chicago Evening Post._
