I was in Theatre one day with a man who had a huge plaster. I wanted him to move up the table but I could not lift him as he was far too heavy. I thought he was German so I tried to communicate with him by signs. He was not responding to all my antics and a friend of mine came to me and said 鈥淲hat are you doing, Nurse?鈥� I said 鈥淚 am trying to get this fellow to move up the table, he鈥檚 too heavy for me鈥�. With that he moved up the table and said 鈥淚s that all right now, Nurse?鈥� and I said 鈥淔or goodness sake why didn鈥檛 you tell me your were an Englishman!鈥� I had been trying all that time to try and persuade him to move but I suppose he just didn鈥檛 realise that. They had just come off boats and were disoriented, also they had been given painkillers, so I thought that he just thought I had gone a bit mad making all these signs.

We had lots of fun nursing the young boys.
