Agnes Warner and the Nursing Sisters of the Great War Paperback - 2010

by Shawna M. Quinn


From the rear cover

"I cannot tell you how glad I am to be able to go to the front, for it means a chance to do good work and I shall be so glad to be nearer the Canadian boys." -- Agnes Warner.

When Canada entered the Great War in 1914, thousands of women eager to see active service signed on to nurse the wounded. What they experienced in the hospitals behind the front lines would remain with them forever. Through thunderous explosions and ominous flashes in the distance, nursing sisters worked at a feverish pace to care for bleeding wounds, broken and missing limbs, and the other devastating injuries of war.

In Agnes Warner and the Nursing Sisters of the Great War, Shawna M. Quinn explores the world of these brave women -- the gruelling, dangerous conditions of work and the brutal realities they faced. Drawing upon the letters of Saint John native Agnes Warner, Quinn paints a picture of the dedicated women who witnessed firsthand the atrocities of war.
