Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.These “Heroic true-life stories from the nurses of World War Two” are moving oral histories, spoken by nurses in short interview form.
Beginning with their training just before the war, it takes us into the Battle of Britain and military nursing abroad.
We hear a vast range of voices, from a Jewish refugee training in Ealing (“Everyone said I wouldn’t like it [Ealing] and I didn’t”) to a Sister posted to Basra and a partially trained Jewish nurse in Egypt (“The hospital was built in tents”).
A fascinating slice of lived history.
