Commentary and newsreel describe the role of nurses during World War One, including the work of volunteer nurses. A dramatic monologue introduces Edith Cavell, a British nurse remembered for her work in Brussels with injured soldiers of all nationalities. Edith actively helped allied soldiers escape German-occupied Brussels. This led to her arrest, trial and execution by the Germans in 1915. She is widely regarded today as an icon of courage and compassion.
