The Women of Royaumont by Eileen Crofton
This story relates the wartime experiences of a group of women who ran a hospital near the trenches during World War I, often under conditions of great hardship. Told largely through letters home and diaries, this book throws light on wartime conditions and the cause of women's suffrage.
