Recommended to Mahlon by: Her narrative focuses on the hardships a woman faced when living with men in a war zone, she rarely mentions the horrors she must have seen.

This is due to the fact that the book is a collection of her letters home, and she probably censored herself to spare her family the worry, which makes the few occasions when she does share the human cost of war with them all the more poignant.

Bedpan Commando: The Story of a Combat Nurse During World War II

The daily grind, the sameness of her terrible existence, the constant exhaustion and fear and anxiety is perfectly captured commanod the often mundane detail. Though she did not dwell on such things, the humiliation and prejudice she suffered by being an intelligent, free-thinking, independent and beautiful woman was evident, and shame on those who did not appreciate her.

There is a love story here as well. The complete adoration she enjoyed by so many fellow soldiers and patients is evidence that June Wandrey was, as so many nurses in war, more than an able caregiver. She reminded those who touched her life the meaning of love in a place where such a concept is often forced into the furthest recesses of the mind.

I cry easily so I was worried that this would be too emotional of a story for me to enjoy, but she is one of the people featured in the WW11 documentary on the History channel so I was interested. Command in the book was the only time that she got detailed in personally dealing with some patients and it became emotional.

It has interesting details about general life as a nurse and even some humor. It was a quick read, and I enjoyed it. becpan
