Download Sisters in Arms: British Army Nurses Tell Their Story AudioBook Free
The amazing activities of the Queen Alexandra nurses during World War II form one of the biggest adventure stories of modern times, yet until now they’ve remained largely untold. Thousands of middle-class girls, barely out of school, were plucked from sheltered backgrounds, subjected to unimaginably tough training regimes, and delivered to see the harshest conditions of the fighting services. They saw it all: the beaches of Dunkirk, Singapore, and D-Day. Dozens won medals for gallantry. Hundreds of nurses died: torpedoed in hospital ships, bombed in field hospitals, or murdered in Japanese prison camps.
