About this book
Field Hospital and Flying Column is described as the Journal of an English Nursing Sister in Belgium & Russia, by Violetta Thurstan. The writer says that Ostend in the middle of August generally means a gay crowd of bathers, but that the party landed in silence, and anxious faces and ominous whispers met them on their arrival on Belgian soil. At first sight Brussels seemed to the writer to be en fête, with flags waving from every window.
The writer adds that if one looked closer, many of the flags giving such a gay appearance were Red Cross flags denoting that an ambulance had been prepared for the wounded. The writer's group goes through a wood silently in single file, taking care that if possible not even a twig should crackle under their feet, till they come to the very front trenches at the edge of the wood.
