Nurses – heroines of World War I (Part II)

As is well known, World War I (1914-1918) was the second bloodiest military conflict of the 20th century. Essentially, this mas­sive military conflict involved the armies of the Allies (France, England, Russia, Italy etc.) as well as the armies of the Central Powers (Prussia – today’s Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria). Spe­ci­fi­cal­ly, in this material, which we structured in two distinct parts, we present the biographies of three nurse heroines of the Great War: Edith Louisa Cavell, Helen Fairchild, and Nicole Girard-Mangin.
