The article introduces the largely forgotten nurses, including official nurses and unofficial nurses, who aided the British Army during the Crimean War. The official nurses included women in religious groups, paid ordinary nurses, and female volunteers. An iconic member of the British Army's paid corps of ordinary nurses was Betsi Cadwaladr. She diligently attended the wounded despite the difficult conditions in Balaclava Hospital. She completed work in the hospital kitchen to create a special diet for patients. She often worked 20 hours a day and occasionally worked for several days without a break. Two iconic representatives of unofficial nurses serving the British Army during the Crimean War were Elizabeth Evans and Mary Seacole. Elizabeth Evans nursed the wounded in the Hospital of the Regiment of Foot and was highly praised for her devotion and nursing services. Mary Seacole overcame many obstacles to go out onto the Crimea battlefield. She established a “British hotel”. She took care of the wounded and assisted in the British army hospital. On the battlefield, she cared for the wounded without concern for the danger. The British soldiers affectionately called her “Mother Seacole”. |
