The Mad Major and Frontline Nurses in War Narrative
The narrator praises brave ITE nurses near the front and recounts chaotic air raids that hit a field hospital, the peril of battle near Tiviebuseh, a Kemmel hill encounter, and a dramatic lone flyover by the so-called Mad Major who bombs a 17 inch howitzer. He details trenches pools, mascots, and a perilous night near a brewery as shells fall. We travel through Pradelles and Outrasteena toward Paris while observing war’s toll.
