SYNOPSIS: In these Red Cross memoirs, 31 women tell their stories of volunteer work with the Canadian Red Cross Corps in overseas postings during World War II and the Korean War. These dramatic narratives take us across oceans infested with enemy submarines to witness Canadian women on duty in the U.K., in Europe and in Asia. The volunteers shouldered challenging and often dangerous jobs, working as nurse's aides, ambulance drivers, cooks and welfare and escort officers. We learn how it feels to survive daily bombings and severe food shortages, to witness death and destruction all around, and to acquire the spirit and courage exhibited by so many "ordinary" people during the war. Laced with humour and filled with grace, these stories are a testament to the vital yet often overlooked responsibilities that thousands of women gallantly accepted to help create a world of peace. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
