Diary of a Nursing Sister on the Western Front, 1914-1915

III.

On No.— Ambulance Train (1)

FIRST EXPERIENCES

October 13, 1914, to October 19, 1914

“In lonely watches, night by night
Great visions burst upon my sight,
For down the stretches of the sky
The hosts of dead go marching by.
Dear Christ, who reignst above the flood

Of human tears and human blood,
A weary road these men have trod:
O house them in the home of God.”
