While there, she was called to serve in a Red Cross unit on the Eastern Front during WWI. She returned to Korea and served in a hospital in Seoul in time to witness the first stirrings of the Korean Independence movement.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>A Nurse's Story</em> is the memoir of a woman who left her small town in Ohio to train as a nurse in New York City and then travel to the other side of the world. She found fulfillment in her work as a medical missionary in Korea, training native nurses at the mission hospital in another small town, Haeju. Her life of service there was interrupted by World War I, when she was called to be part of a Red Cross unit on the Eastern Front. At the end of the war, she returned to Korea to work in a hospital in Seoul, just in time to witness the first stirrings of the Korean Independence movement.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Charity begins at home, but it needn't end there--the proper sphere of Charity is the world." With these words, newly-graduated nurse Delia Battles embarked on the great adventure of her young life. What is remarkable to the reader is how much of her tale of war, refugees, foreign occupation, and finally, nursing tradition and education, still rings true today.--Denise M. Ferraro, M.S., R.N., F.N.P.-B.C.</p><br>
