An English Woman-Sergeant in the Serbian Army | 
pickA somewhat bizarre first-person account of Flora Sandes‘s first years with the Serbian Army. In 1915, the British nurse returns to Serbia to re-join a Red Cross Hospital. Unable to get through, she joins an ambulance, then asks if she can move with the regiment and one thing leads to another!
She‘s an English woman of a certain class, background and status (nothing is a problem) but is self-aware enough to see (generally after the event)
In a nutshell, it‘s all very strange! I‘d be interested to read a biography of her at some point. I will also come back and read something by a Serbian author, but the translation in my original choice was just painful, and library access is limited right now.
