Introduction

From: Asleep in the Deep

$0.50

The introduction summarizes the events surrounding the German sinking of the Canadian Hospital Ship Llandovery Castle in World War I. Following the war, the actions of the U-boat commander and two other officers became the subject of one of the first war crimes trials, contributing to jurisprudence on the defence of “following a superior’s order.” In this book the author documents Anna’s transition from civilian nursing to wartime service, examining the risks, living conditions, and daily routine these nurses encountered.
