Hardcover book with dust jacket. Title is brown print. Author's name in dark green print above the title (although it appears blue in image). There is a sepia photo of four nurses wearing Red Cross uniforms that overlays a black and white background image of a soldier walking through muddy land with burnt tree trunks behind him. Printed inside the front and back cover is the sheet music to 'The Rose of "NO Man's Land"'non-fiction'On the face of it, ' writes Lyn Macdonald, 'no one could have been less equipped for the job than these gently nurtured girls who walked straight out of Edwardian drawing rooms into the manifest horrors of the First World War ... ' Yet the volunteer nurses rose magnificently to the occasion. In leaking tents and draughty huts they fought another war, a war against agony and death, as men lay suffering from the pain of unimaginable wounds or diseases we can now cure almost instantly. It was here that young doctors frantically forged new medical techniques - of blood transfusion, dentistry, psychiatry and plastic surgery - in the attempt to save soldiers shattered in body or spirit. And it was here that women achieved a quiet but permanent revolution, by proving beyond question they could do anything. All this is superbly captured in The Roses of No Man's Land, a panorama of hardship, disillusion and despair, yet also of endurance and supreme courage--Summary taken from 2013 edition.
