Description

WHAT SISTER AGNES Warner's eager New Brunswick readership got in her book My Beloved Poilus was a series of snapshots--both visual and narrative--of her adopted world. Amid the unrelenting rhythms of work and care, she highlights her own experience of uncertainty, discomfort, joy and revulsion. We get to know how strongly she feels about senseless devastation and how heavily she relies on support from home. We see how keeping busy sustains her mentally and how the poilus' gratitude restores her emotionally. In the letters are glimpses of her inner struggle to sort out her feelings on the war's lethal perplexities-wondering how to reconcile her fear and her pride when nephew Bayard signs up as a soldier or rethinking her position on nursing the enemy when German soldiers first arrive in her hospital In May 1916. And despite a momentary vow to give up nursing altogether after the war, we see her taking every opportunity to augment her professional knowledge of surgical advancements and methods of hospital administration by touring other facilities. Through the letter, we move ever closer to the front lines with a dedicated woman who takes one difficult day at a time. As she was writing the last letter that would be bound into My Beloved Poilus, neither Warner nor her readers could have contemplated that her ordeal at the front was scarcely more than half over.
