This project is dedicated to my grandmother, Shirley Bradford. She served during WWII as part of the Army Nurse Corps starting several months before D-Day. During her tour of duty, she was stationed in Southampton, England, and alternated working in stationary hospitals and on board an improvised “hospital” train. Along with the two other nurses on board, she cared for more than 300 soldiers at a time as they were transported from the battlefield to safer locations for further treatment. This project roughly follows her experiences, and the audio is her recollection of her service.
