Army Nursing in 1893

With so few original sources available it's not easy to piece together the details of an army nurse's life prior to the Great War (and pretty difficult even then). I've recently been reading through some documents at The National Archives, and found War Office reports on the army medical and nursing services which were published in 1893 and 1901. They're reported verbatim, which really brings them to life, and an interesting picture emerges of hospital life more than a century ago. I've put some extracts on my website, and the page can be found here:
