The Little Nurse

by Marjorie Penn (1920-2007)

This short book is a memoir of wartime experiences by Marjorie Penn, who was a nurse in England during World War II, serving at the Royal Free Hospital in London, at hosptials in Plymouth and Bristol, and at "A Jewish home for the Bombed Out" in London. It documents the Blitz from the point of view of some of its most helpless victims.

Mrs. Penn wrote the book in 1997 and liked to share it with anyone on the internet who is interested. She made contact with a number of former colleagues who found this book online.
