Torrent description

The experiences of the Queen Alexanders nurses in the second world war are some of the adventure stories of modern times yet, they are largely untold. The service numbered 12,000 women during the war ￢ﾀﾓ middle class girls in their early 20s were plucked from sheltered backgrounds and subjected to unimaginably tough training regimes and sent out to face horrific casualties. Wherever there was a front, whenever there was a raid, a battle, a bombing, the QA￢ﾀﾙs were in the thick of it. They tended the burns of the Battle of Britain pilots; they were in Hing Kong when it fell; they were in India nursing the emancipated men who built the Burma railway; and they were the first women ot enter the liberated Nazi death camps. The story of the QA￢ﾀﾙs is not all blood and bandages. The tales of how they coped with these trials is profoundly moving anf uplifting, as they recount their deeds with modesty and understatement.
