Summary:
"On 27 June 1918, the Llandovery Castle, a Canadian hospital ship returning to England, was sunk by a torpedo from a German U-boat. The act was explicitly contrary to the Geneva Convention and resulted in the deaths of 234 crew members, including 14 nursing sisters. The U-boat's officers were charged and convicted of war crimes in 1921. It was the most significant Canadian naval disaster of the First World War. Anna Stamers, a thirty-year-old nursing sister from Saint John, was one of those who died when the ship sank. Now, her story will finally be told.

Kelly
explores Stamers?s childhood and initial nursing education in Saint John; her decision to enlist and her transition to military nursing; her service during the war in barracks and field hospitals in England and France; and her final posting aboard HMHS Llandovery Castle. The result is a vivid reconstruction of Stamers?s life and an important record of the role nursing sisters played during the war."--From publisher.
