Edith Appleton served in Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve (QAIMNSR) throughout the First World War.

The presentation, by Edie's great nephew, Dick Robinson, tells her story with extracts from the diaries read by Dick's wife, Lisa, and is fully illustrated. Copies of the book will be available at a discounted price.
