Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations of an Orderly: Some Glimpses of Life and Work in an English War Hospital
On entering - I had knocked, but no response rewarded this courtesy - I was requested, by a stern-visaged Sister, to state my business. Her sternness was excusable. The visiting-hour was not yet, and in my unprofessional guise She had taken me for a visitor. My explanation dispelled her frowns. She was expecting me. Her present orderly had been granted three days' leave. He was preparing to depart. I was to act as his substitute. Before he went he would initiate me into the secrets of his craft. She called him. Private Wood Private Wood, in his shirt-sleeves, appeared. I was handed over to him.
