Edith Cavell: Nurse and Patriot

Edith stayed to nurse the wounded when Brussels was occupied by the German army, and she became part of a secret organisation which helped British and Belgian soldiers trying to escape. Cavell was arrested by the German secret police, and with other members of the escape network, was found guilty of war treason and shot on 12 October 1915. Jonathan Evans examines Edith's life and her impact on nursing, together with her influence on the war which saw her death used as a propaganda weapon.
