Description

A Very Private Diary: A Nurse in Wartime by Mary Morris is a personal and poignant account of one woman's experiences as a nurse during World War II. In 1939, at just 18 years old, Mary began her training as a nurse in London, expecting an adventure and a new start. Instead, she found herself on the front lines of war, nursing critically ill children through bombing raids and tending to soldiers and prisoners of war in Europe. Mary's diary is a remarkable record of her time on the Home Front and beyond, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of those who served during this period. With her rebellious spirit, sharp wit, and irrepressible personality shining through, Mary's story is both harrowing and heartwarming. Published for the first time, Mary Mulry's diary is a powerful and moving tribute to the women who played a vital role in keeping Britain going during wartime.
