My grandmother was a VAD nurse. The suggestion that nurses were not on the front line was not true, they were shelled, gassed and bombed. The German idea of Total War meant that even hospitals were targets. The women ambulance drivers had to drive into even more danger. Women medical staff came from ALL OVER THE EMPIRE not only England.
Exactly, Gregory. May we never forget. Unfortunately, the worthless generation we have today will not care about what these wonderful people did for us all. We owe a great debt to the Greatest Generation. May they never be forgotten.
very fascinating. i love these type of anecdotal stories that can bring you back to a certain place of time. the actress was wonderful to listen to.
Yes, she was. She actually wrote the story as well. Great job Olivia!
This is really well done and very interesting. Thank you.
Very interesting! Well Done!
Thank you for these video.
It is nice to hear about English nurses who played their part, during the great war, otherwise knowing as WW1. Bless them.

@@0ldb1ll Hi. That's really cool! You must be very proud of your Grandma. Did she care for many wounded soldiers?
Lest we forget.

But why was she sent back to England? What happened to Veronica? Now we'll never know.
