TYRER NICOLA - Sisters in Arms British Army Nurses Tell Their StoryPhoenix UK. 2009. (ISBN: 9780753825679) Card Cover , 20 Cm. "The story of the British Army Nurses (QAs) is so much more than blood and bandages. It abounds with incredibly moving heroic acts. The QAs were often young, sheltered middle class girls who suddenly found themselves thrust into the theatre of war. Nothing in their backgrounds could have prepared them for the unimaginably harsh conlditions they were to encounter. They were raped, starved, shot at and shipwrecked. They tended the horrific burns of the Battle of Britain pilots and they were the first women to enter the liberated Nazi death camps. Coping in an emergency and not showing fear was what these women were trained to do and they vividly recount their deeds with modesty and understatement." one page creased. As New.
