Description
This letter, written by Sophie Hoerner to “Mollie” while she was serving as an active nurse aboard a troop transport ship in the late Spring of 1915 on its way to England. She writes that she finds military service thrilling when compared to the regular nursing she was accustomed to. In the letter she details the phenomena as having “all sorts of thrills and bubbles inside (her)”. She felt a sensation transitioning from civilian nursing to her new and her eyes more purposeful work and while she expresses her excitement to return to Canada and civilian life, she refers to the experience as something that “(she) would not have missed this for the world”.
