About This Book

A firsthand narrative by a member of an Irish convent recounts the community's experiences during the heavy fighting around Ypres in the First World War. The account records bombardment and destruction of the town, the sisters' acts of charity and courage caring for the wounded and maintaining religious life amid danger, internal notes from the prioress, and the community's evacuation and arrival at an English abbey. Interwoven are reflections on loss, resilience, and the practical details of survival and rebuilding the monastery after wartime ruin.
