This is the first of two excerpts from the book An Officer and a Lady: Canadian Military Nursing and the Second World War. Written by Cynthia Toman, the book was published by UBC Press in association with the Canadian War Museum in 2007 (ISBN 978-0774814478, hardcover $85.00; a paperback edition is due June 2008). During the Second World War, more than 4,000 civilian nurses enlisted as Nursing Sisters, a specially created all-female officers' rank of the Canadian Armed Forces. They served in all three armed force branches and all the major theatres of war, yet nursing as a form of war work has long been under-explored.
