I remember one night when I was on night duty; I was on the phone in the passage just outside the ward when one of the patients called out "Duck nurse!" I did and a piece of shrapnel hit my tin hat on my head. If he hadn't called, it would have gone through my body. I kept the dented tin hat and the shrapnel five to six inches long but I don't have it now.
