| Description: |
During the First World War, the author spent four years as a lieutenant and nursing sister in the medical corps of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. This title documents her daily experiences, from the beginning of her military training in 1915 to her return from Europe in 1918. |
| Synopsis: |
The diary reveals a woman who took it for granted that she should do everything possible to aid the war effort and details her care of the sick and wounded at No. 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill), forty miles behind the trenches, as well as at No. 2 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station, where she was within range of the shells. Combined with Susan Mann's sensitive and thoughtful introduction, the Gass diary provides a fresh look at Canadian participation in the First World War. It will appeal to a wide range of readers with an interest in military history, women's history, medical history, gender and war, diaries, and the history of nursing. |
