Beatrice Hopkinson was a British World War I nurse. She worked closer to the Front Line than women could have ever previously imagined. She was selected for the most onerous type of duty in the bitterest phase of the war. Arriving in St. Omer in the summer of 1917, the town and hospital was being continuously bombed. Beatrice continued to do the job she had come to France for--saving lives and easing dying soldiers on the Western Front. Her diary gives rare insight into the realities of front line nursing.
