About This Book

A ward-orderly's memoir depicts daily routines, practical tasks, and human moments in a wartime military hospital. It mixes anecdote and observation — training and sink-room rituals, kitchen and laundry problems, the scrub-ladies, ward duties, arrival of the wounded, efforts to restore disfigured faces, slang and humor, recreation and concerts, and reflections on camaraderie, bureaucracy, and the quiet courage of patients and staff.
