The personal experiences of a nurse in England, 1938-1974.
These recollections trace the experiences of a school nurse working in the East End of London from 1938 to 1974. They include a brief  history of Stepney and the Docklands, the ethnic mix and the social and economic conditions before the war. They describe the effects of World War II with the bombing and its devastation and the evacuation of children to the country, their return and forced re-evacuation, and the effect on the children. After the war the recollections recount the continuing struggle with health education as a health visitor and something of the post-war reconstruction.
