Notes

"This book accompanies the exhibition 'The hospital in the oatfield' displayed in the Florence Nightingale Museum in 2014 as art of the First World War centenary, and curated by Natasha McEnroe and Holly Carter-Chappell." [Quotation from the front cover flyleaf].
"The Florence Nightingale Museum will mark the centenary of the First World War with a special exhibition honouring the inspirational work of nurses in war-torn France. The exhibition centres on a series of remarkable paintings by Victor Tardieu of the field hospital run by the Society beauty, Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland. The exhibition explores the crucial role played by women in the battlefields of France and Belgium and shows the incredible innovation displayed by nurses under challenging and dangerous conditions."
