OverviewMay Borden worked for four years in an evacuation hospital unit following the front lines up and down the European theatre of the First World War; this beautifully written book is a collection of her memories and impressions of that experience. Describing the men as they march into battle, engaging imaginatively with the stories of individual soldiers, and recounting procedures at the field hospital, the author offers a perspective on the war that is both powerful and intimate.
