Wartime Nurse by Eric Taylor
During the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale's nurses defied male prejudice and the conventions of the age by caring for soldiers in hospitals seething with cholera and 'awash with sewage'. This book recounts the exploits of the nurses working in battle zones during the 100 years spanning wars from the Crimea to Korea.
Born in Morecambe, Lancashire, Eric Taylor served as a wartime infantry officer in North Africa and Italy. He was for many years an RAF Squadron Leader in Germany. A graduate of Manchester University, he has written several books on the Second World War including Operation Millennium, 'Bomber' Harris's Raid on Cologne, Women Who Went to War, 1938-46, Forces Sweethearts, Heroines of World War II, Showbiz Goes to War, Front-line Nurse and Combat Nurse, all published by Hale. Eric Taylor lives in York.
