Produktbeschreibung
During the Korean War, E. J. McNair saw 18 months' active service as a Queen Alexandra's nurse in both Japan and Korea. Throughout the entirety of her service, McNair wrote a large number of letters home to her parents, letters that are now held by the Imperial War Museum. This is her account of that extraordinary time, based on her correspondence and illustrated with her own photographs and drawings. This very personal depiction of the war covers the highs and lows of nursing the sick and wounded in the British Commonwealth General Hospital as one of around 80 European women in the garrison in Kure, Japan, as well as life in the small British Commonwealth Zone Medical Unit in Seoul, Korea. Captivating and heartfelt, this is an important first-hand account of one of history's most mired conflicts.
