Summary "Diary of a Nursing Sister on the Western Front, 1914-1915" by Anonymous is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The work chronicles the experiences of a British nursing sister as she serves on the front lines during World War I, providing readers with detailed insights into the challenges and realities of wartime medical care. The diary format offers an intimate glimpse into her daily life, duties, and the emotional toll of caring for wounded soldiers. The opening of the diary introduces the reader to the nursing sister's initial days as she travels overseas and settles into her new environment. Starting with her embarkation from England, she vividly describes the excitement of the send-off, the conditions aboard the troopship, and her arrival in Havre. The entries illustrate her eagerness to begin her work amidst uncertainty, highlighting the camaraderie among the medical staff and soldiers. As she waits in a convent for orders, her observations provide a poignant understanding of the looming conflict and her longing to contribute to the war effort, setting the stage for the unfolding harrowing experiences she will document throughout her service.
