Summary "My War Experiences in Two Continents" by S. Macnaughtan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the author's experiences as a nurse during World War I, particularly her time serving in Belgium and other war-torn regions. It looks to explore the grim realities of war through the eyes of those on the front lines, emphasizing the challenges faced by medical staff while caring for wounded soldiers. At the start of the book, the author recounts her journey from London to Antwerp, where she arrives to assist in a newly-established hospital. Despite initial confusion and sickness, she and her team quickly begin to care for a growing number of wounded soldiers. She vividly describes the chaotic environment of the hospital, detailing the arrival of wounded soldiers, the tasks at hand, and her interactions with the patients. The beginning sets a tone of urgency and compassion, reflecting both the physical and emotional toll of war, while introducing the reader to the complexities of service during such a traumatic period.
