This collection of letters home by Chief Nurse Julia Stimson is an enlightening account of nursing during World War 1.

As a retired Registered Nurse myself, I wanted to learn more about those important and challenging times for the profession.

It provides a window into not only medical and nursing care, but of the vast challenges of the day, putting our own troubles into perspective.
