A War Nurse’s Diary
By M. E. CLARK
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.
