She managed to go.
And the very men who had discouraged her found out that the work she did was the most wonderful kind of help.
V. The Army Nurse
I wish I could tell you about the noble deeds she did, but this book would not hold all the stories.
She carried food and medicine to the soldiers.
She bound up their wounds and put on their bandages.
Sometimes as she was dressing the wounds of a soldier in the open field a bullet would come whizzing by.
Once one passed between her arm and her body.
She wrote letters for the men to their families, that their loved ones might know where they were.
In the cold winter weather, in the heat of summer, she did everything she could for the wounded and sick soldiers.
