The Angels of Pervijze
A fascinating and positive story from WWI about courage and self-sacrifice. The English Elsie Knocker and the Scottish Mairi Chisholm, very against the wishes of the British army command, install a bandage station in a cellar in Pervijze, barely fifty meters from the front line in this dangerous Belgian sector. They provide the first care to seriously injured and sick and then transport them to field hospitals in Veurne or De Panne. A tribute to these free-spirited, intrepid young heroines.
