savagery
(stuff.co.nz) A number of World
War 1 nurses are remembered, particularly two who died when a
torpedo hit their ship, ten others who had trained at Palmerston
North Hospital, a group who had to sew their own uniforms once on
their ship, and Ellen Iris Shaw who was trained both as a
nurse and as an anaesthetist. ●
POEM:
Also included is a poem called Humane War
written by a nurse, Juliet Wilborn Tompkins, about the
nurses' day-to-day work in caring for wounded soldiers, which was
"surprisingly" published by the Manawatu Standard on 12 November
1914.
