Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I was interested to read early work from Enid Bagnold, British author and playwright, most famous for National Velvet. The short work is written in a personal diary form which tells the inner feelings and impressions of a young nurse working in a military hospital during World War One. My favorite quote, appears as the nurse questions why the Sisters (Nursing Nuns) are so seemingly unfeeling in their treatment of the wounded soldiers. "How was she to live among her fellows?Can one afford to disdain them? Can one steer happily with indifference? Must one, to be "liked", bend one's spirit to theirs? And, most disturbing question of all, is to be "liked" the final standard?
Whether to wear, or not to wear, a mask toward one's world? For there is so much that is unripe to show - change and uncertainty....." She is watching the Sisters and wondering if she too will have to be harder to survive in such a place.
Anyone with an interest in WWI, nursing, British authors of the 20s to the 60s will enjoy this book.

A Diary Without Dates Enid Bagnold 9781407674735 Books Reviews
She was a nurse in World War 1. It is OK but very short.
Worth reading for the first chapter alone. Nicely written.
Brief but moving story of a nurse in WWI. Goes well with Vera Brittain's 'Testament of Youth,' so order both. Her critical view
of hospital administration got her sacked. Only years later did she become famous for such works as 'Serena Blandish' and 'National Velvet.'
