چکیده
photographs, which were taken in defiance of regulations. The diary gives some insight into living conditions. Sometimes the nurses lived in wooden huts, but on other occasions in tents, which were not altogether weather proof. Sister Gass clearly experienced at first hand both Flanders mud and the intense winter cold. She made extensive entries until early 1917 at which time two of her relatives were killed or died of wounds. Perhaps because of this or because of the intensity of her work, the entries then become less frequent and shorter. The diary reveals some of Sister Gass's duties and the extent of casualties. She describes how she had to set up wards in tents, which were also not entirely weather proof, how she had to obtain stores and stock the ward. She did not enjoy night duty, which came round every three months, because she found it difficult to sleep in the daytime. There were days when nursing activities were slow and others when life was hectic, particularly during the periods of the major Allied offensives such as the Somme, Passchendaele and Vimy Ridge. The matron of the Hospital, whose recollections are also included in the book's extensive appendices, quotes the total number of casualty admissions as 143,252 with 11,395 operations performed. The book, which is edited by Susan Mann, contains not only the diary but also a useful introduction to the life of Clare Gass covering events before and after those recorded in the diary. In addition there are extensive notes and appendices. Overall the book contributes to a better understanding of the life of nursing sisters in the CAMC, and how they managed both away from the front line and close to it.
