Description: | Photocopy of a ms diary (381pp) covering her experiences as an American Red Cross Aide en route to France in December 1917, looking after French refugee children at Evian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva, January - April 1918, working in the dispensary of a children's clinic in Marseilles, April - June 1918, at United States Red Cross Hospital No 107 at Jouy-sur-Marin, June - August 1918, at United States Red Cross Hospital No 120 at Chateau-Thierry, August - December 1918, and in London, awaiting passage back to the United States in December 1918. Although the diary records little about her actual work, it does reflect her youthful excitement at being in the war zone, and gives good descriptions of her off-duty activities, including Armistice celebrations and intimate details of her romantic attachments to patients and members of the hospital staff.
