Description
An incredible true story of a young nurse working in the East End of London during the Second World War.
In 1938, 18-year-old Phyllis Ellsworth packs her bags, says good-bye to her anxious parents and sets off from her quiet seaside home for the Hackney Hospital in London's bustling East End, where she is to fulfill her dream to train as a nurse.
At first it is a whirlwind of long days, hard work, new friends and plenty of mischief, but just 10 months later Britain declares war on Germany, and life at the hospital is transformed. Phyll's days become an endless cycle of air-raid sirens, injured servicemen and anxiously waiting for news of loved ones.
And when she falls in love with a handsome young solider, Alistair, Phyll's work provides the only distraction from worrying about his safety.
Bandaging the Blitz is a true story of coming of age in terrible times, of the blossoming of first romance into a life-long love affair, and of a young woman whose eagerness to do good in the world brought her suddenly face to face with death and drama in all its many guises.
