Short documentary of Canadian Nurses in World War I

Dorothea Crewdson, a Red Cross nurse, was given instructions to leave for northern France in 1915. She spent the next four years as a witness to some of the worst horror of the Great War, yet her diaries, with their beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, sparkle with warmth and humour. 

The American Red Cross has quietly and caringly provided assistance to the world throughout the past century. This is the story of Marion McCune Rice, a Red Cross nurse who served in France during World War I.  WARNING, images may be graphic, viewer descretion is advised. 37 minutes.
