Miss Lawrence gives this account of her exploits in France as a soldier of the Royal engineers, 51st division. 179th tunnelling company. It was as a last desperate effort to get to the war that she plotted and struggled her way into the ranks. Twelve times she had applied for various forms of war work and had been turned down. Her efforts to go as newspaper correspondent met the same fate. The Tommies were more accommodating and helped her to accomplish her purpose.
