The honourable women of the Great War : and The women's (war) who's who /[edited by] P. Campion.

Originally published in 1919, this facsimile reproduction records the wartime contribution of (as the Foreword describes it) 'women of distinction, of gentle birth and cultured tastes [who abandoned] gladly the ease and amenities of their sheltered lives to devote days and nights to strenuous, rough and unaccustomed work, in order that our scarred and maimed fighting men home from the battle fronts might be given the care and attention which was their due.' Brief biographical details of over two hundred women are provided along with a summary of their wartime work often with the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD). Photographs accompany many of the biographies. A list of all women receiving the Royal Red Cross Decoration for nursing services is also included with the name of the hospital in which they worked. A further list of the names of women brought to the notice of the Secretary of State for valuable services rendered in connection with the war is also provided, also with details of the hospital in which they worked.
