Excerpt from The Sorrows of a Red Cross Nurse Thousands of our soldiers, and their Allied comrades, treasure in their hearts the sweet image of some Red Cross nurse who pulled them out of the shadows to go over the top again. Nor will they ever forget the cheerful smiles that helped them through their dark hours, the sympathetic voices that read the dear home letter to them, and the occasional patriotic and popular songs that cheered their convalescence. Among these brave young women who consecrated their lives to deeds of mercy were many faces touched by a shade of sadness. The tragedy of their own hearts deep ened the sympathy and love that ministered to the needy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
