Under 1kg The remarkable true story of the Queen Alexandra frontline nurses in the Second World War.   The amazing experiences of the Queen Alexandra nurses in the Second World War form one of the greatest adventure stories of modern times, and - incredibly - remain largely untold. Thousands of middle-class girls, barely out of school, were plucked from sheltered backgrounds, subjected to training regimes unimaginably tough by today's standards, and sent forth to share the harsh conditions of the fighting services. They had to deal with the most appalling suffering, yet most found reserves of inner strength that carried them through episodes of unrelieved horror.   Over 200 nurses died, torpedoed in hospital ships, bombed in field hospitals or murdered in Japanese prison camps. Dozens won medals for gallantry. From the beaches of Dunkirk, to Singapore and D-Day, they saw it all. Whether tending burned pilots from the Battle of Britain or improvising medical treatment in Japanese death camps, their dedication was second to none. This is their story.   

The forces of the 3rd Reich surge into France. The Panzer Division's speed takes the Allies by surprise, and French forces are soon defeated, while the British Expeditionary force is blocked off in the Dunkirk Pocket, from which they barely escape. In the face of a victorious Reich, the fate of the world will rest for a few months on the shoulders of a handful of men: the RAF pilots. Slight surface scratching on cover and small blue sticker on first page. Rest of book in very good condition!
