A firsthand wartime memoir by an English volunteer who begins as a nurse in Serbian hospitals, endures a typhus epidemic, and subsequently serves in a fighting capacity, becoming a sergeant. The narrative follows ambulance work, skirmishes and cold-weather engagements, the chaotic retreat over mountain passes, and coastal evacuations. It emphasizes daily improvisation, shortages of food and medical supplies, and close bonds among soldiers and medical staff. Episodes on mountain campaigns, the Albanian passage and later refuge on offshore islands are presented as a vivid account of physical hardship, military action, and human resilience.
