Nursing at the Front

Mary K. Nelson, an American nurse, kept a journal while she served at the hospital in Yvetot, France during the War:

"I scrubbed up shortly after three p.m. and had my gloves off only about half an hour for a bite of dinner in the sterilizing room about eight that evening. It was four-thirty the next morning before we finished, only to begin again that afternoon. As ever so many of our ‘grands blessés' are bad joint wounds, the work in the wards does not lighten." (Mary Nelson, October. 26, 1915)
