In this fascinating book, Diane Atkinson does a lot more than simply reminding us of a story that deserves to be more widely known. She also gives us a ripping yarn about two plucky English gels who performed miracles while also having the time of their lives.
Kathryn Hughes, Daily Mail
A compelling story of famous but forgotten heroines: two exceptional Edwardian ladies in the front line mud and mayhem of World War I.
Kate Adie
Diane Atkinson has uncovered the lives of two extraordinary women who brought medical comfort and relief to the wounded of World War I. Her book is as absorbing as it is thorough, as entertaining as it is warm-hearted. A terrific story.
