Marilyne Posted 27 April , 2021 Share Posted 27 April , 2021 Now that I have some time again, I'm starting to read "Field Hospital and Flying Column". Apart from her textbook and her Russian account "The Hounds of War Unleashed", are there any other references (biography, memoirs?) about this lady? M.

Apart from her textbook and her Russian account "The Hounds of War Unleashed", are there any other references (biography, memoirs?) about this lady? M. Not sure if she put any personal material in: Thurstan V. A text book of war nursing. London; New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1917; facsimile Charleston, SC. : Nabu Press, 2011 or Thurstan, V. The people who run: being the tragedy of the refugees in Russia. London; New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1916. She gets a section in Hallett CE. Nurse writers of the Great War. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2016. There is also Somerfield M, Bellingham A. Violetta Thurstan: a celebration (Newmill, Penzance: Jamieson Library, 1993), but this seems to be more about her civilian life as a weaving, dying and textiles expert. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 27 April , 2021 Share Posted 27 April , 2021 (edited) Merci du compliment! It looks as if the last-mentioned book does cover her WWI experience - although there is a lot else to cover: https://hypatia-trust.org.uk/news-archive/2012/12/11/violetta-thurstan-a-modern-day-renaissance-woman Edited 27 April , 2021 by seaJane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Jacket Collector Posted 20 September , 2023 Share Posted 20 September , 2023 As copies of Violetta’s books concerning the War are rather scarce I thought members might like to see her 1916 account of the refugee crisis in Russia. Pre-Bolshevik revolution of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
