    A book that I thoroughly recommend is a book on a little touched subject, namely the nurses and nursing auxilliaries during The First World War. Some from working class backgrounds whose fathers and brothers were fighting in the trenches, others from upper class society, who just felt the call....... They all suffered the same, regardless of social standing.........and continued regardless. Heroines everyone, but sadly neglected.
    This, and the others by Lyn MacDonald are fascinating, and eye watering....

    I can attest to what our soldiers went through in Afghanistan. Both of my boys deployed, both were/are military intelligence (as was my husband, back then it was known as ASA) my eldest son was injured twice, first time electrocuted second time he was in a vehicle that hit an ied. He survived with a severe TBI, and broke some spinal bones, that thankfully healed. He is a wounded warrior, medically discharged. My younger son, his post was attacked. Both in a FOB, supposedly safer than most. My youngest is still in, currently “looking for Waldo”. The sacrifice families go through, especially since they are not properly taken care of when they return is horrible. My eldest now has epilepsy from his TBI. The scenery & reasons for war/conflict change the outcome of our soldiers/veterans does not.
