The story of a young nurse, Martha Douglas,who in 1910 was appointed to the Royal Household until the suffragette movement caught her imagination and she was arrested on a minor charge but sentenced to a year in Holloway Prison. She was released at the start of the First World War and worked in the trenches saving lives until she was injured and exhausted but friends gave her leave in Paris. She returned to treat a New Zealand officer but succumbed to his charms and married him.
This unique book, my 11th, has 21 rare period photographs taken by David Harvie, my mother's uncle who was the Daily Sketch photographer and Royal Photographer 1919-1916. I have inheritted his photographs.
