Book Description
Remember when you are far away upcountry, possibly the only English woman there, that these men will note and remember your every action, not only as a nurse, but as a woman; your life to them will be as the rings a pebble makes when thrown beyond our grasp, yet remembered almost to exaggeration by these soldiers lying helpless in their sickness. See that your every word and act is worthy of your profession and your womanhood. God guard you in His safe-keeping, and make you worthy of His trust - our soldiers."
Thus, Florence Nightingale addressed the Army nurses on their departure overseas in 1882, and her words are still displayed in the Preliminary Training School at Aldershot, available for every new nurse in training to see. Under the Red Cross is the story of an army nurse of our own day who, herself departing overseas, was determined never to forget that message which Florence Nightingale had given, so many years before.
