Clarice Spratling was a young woman of 24 when she decided, along with two friends, to assist the British war effort. The three women became Voluntary Aid Detachment nurses and headed to France in September 1915. Clarice began writing a diary, initially full of expectation and excitement as she prepared to leave her Ramsgate home. The record of her journey soon darkened as she became witness to the horrors unfolding on the Western Front.
