N2  - Plucky V.A.D. (Voluntary Aid Detachment) Olive Dent served two years of the Great War caring for soldiers in a tented hospital on the Western Front. She wrote this vivid account of her time there and, though a classic memoir of the period, it was long forgotten until BBC researchers working on 'The Crimson Field' rediscovered it, and pored over it for historical detail and dramatic atmosphere. Reproduced here in full, Olive's journal tells a real-life story of courage and cameraderie. Her distinctive voice, cheerful resourcefulness and rebellious spirit shine through as brightly now as they must have done 100 years ago
