Excerpt from A Nurse at the War: Nursing Adventures in Belgium and France
The Corps is not well known, because since the 14th September, 1914, they have been too busy over in Flanders and France to talk of their work. But the Corps that started on active service in the person of one woman is increasing steadily, and at present over 50 members are working in the zone of the armies, and a few more are busy in the centre of France in a big convalescent camp. Their work is varied motor ambulance work in the actual firing line has now given way to motor ambulance work at the base; the first-aid work behind the trenches has Changed to first a clearing hospital and now a base hospital, and the excursions to the front with what were then much-needed comforts have given place to running a big canteen for 700 convalescents. Now the have fought their way.
