Eighteen Months in the War Zone: A Record of a Woman's Work on the Western Front

About this film

LibriVox recording of Eighteen Months in the War Zone: A Record of a Woman's Work on the Western Front by Kate John Finzi. Read in English by MaryAnn Spiegel. "But it is not for those who heard the call in the later months so much as in memory of those early heroes of Mons, who knew the bitterness of a valiant retreat, the horror of forced marches along parched roads, with only the prod of the next man's bayonet to keep him awake, and only a flap cut from the tail of his shirt between the pitiless sun and the dreaded delirium that would leave him a prey to the Huns' barbarities; in memory of these it is that I take up the pen to run the gauntlet of a thousand critical eyes on a way fraught with difficulties." ~ Kate John Finzi.
