She brings together a collection of the forgotten voices of frontline QA and QAIMNS nurses who treated and cared for army casualties during the First and Second World Wars. QA's have shown much courage and determination during their military careers and until now their true stories have went largely untold to the public. Nicola Tyrer addresses this by telling their tales and adventures from their training through to caring for the troops on the front line. Many of the nurses came from privileged backgrounds and had led a sheltered life that ill prepared them for the brutality and harshness of war. Yet they coped admirably and won the hearts of many a soldier. Their care saved many lives and made the last few hours or minutes more comfortable to many of the casualties of ferocious battles. Many of these courageous QA's gave their own lives to the service during the bombing of field hospitals and torpedo raids at hospital ships. Others died in concentration camps at the hands of the Japanese. QA's served at Gallipoli, the Somme, Dunkirk, Singapore, D-Day and the Battle of Britain. This book details the battles and their work in extra-ordinary conditions to save the lives of British soldiers. Under the White Cross: British Army Nurses Tell Their Story is a poignant collection dedicated to the memory of British Army Nurses and the history of British Army nursing. Pre-order a copy 
and have it delivered on the day of publication.
The hardcover edition has 320 pages with photographs and will be published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson on the 9 Aug 2007. The ISBN is 0297846582. Nicola Tyrer has also researched and written the following books:
