New Publication!

A new study has been produced by Jonathan Evans, archivist of the London Hospital. The material draws on archives relating to Edith Cavell's experience as a nurse, and two-thirds of the 54 page book covers Edith's training and different jobs in England and later in Belgium. This material helps us to understand more of her professional life and her relationships with those with whom she worked.
