Description

More than two thousand Canadian women served as army nurses overseas during the First World War. The opportunity to read a diary written by one of these women?a document which was, strictly speaking, not supposed to be kept in the first place-is a unique privilege.

A Canadian Nurse in the Great War grants a peek, through the diary of Ruth Loggie, into a little-known moment of our history. It also offers a glimpse into forbidden territory-women at war.

Raw, fresh, unedited, and immediate, A Canadian Nurse in the Great War is a special document, and a welcome companion to Hebb's earlier books, Letters Home: Maritimers and the Great War; 1914-1918, and In Their Own Words: Three Maritimers Experience the Great War.
