Place reservation for Veiled warriors : Allied nurses of the First World WarCaring for the wounded of the First World War was tough and challenging work, demanding extensive knowledge, technical skill and high levels of commitment. Although allied nurses were admired in their own time for their altruism and courage, their image was distorted by the lens of popular mythology. They came to be seen as self-sacrificing heroines, romantic foils to the male combatant and doctors' handmaidens, rather than being appreciated as trained professionals performing significant work in their own right. Christine Hallett challenges these myths to reveal the true story of Allied nursing in the First World War.
