Nevertheless, when the First World War broke out she volunteered as a canteen worker in America, where she became the leader of Washington's Red Cross activities and Belgian relief work. She then crossed to Europe to work in the war-zone, operating a Red Cross canteen for a period of time before working as a nurse, at one point in the company of the Queen of Belgium in a hospital operating theatre. Anxious to understand conditions in the trenches she travelled extensively through the front lines, where the redoubtable ladies from the Cellar House of Pervyse make an appearance, before travelling to England and then experiencing war at sea, including narrowly avoiding being sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat. This is an intriguing view of the Great War from an American woman's perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabel Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782829458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782829454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonaur Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.44d","brand":"Isabel Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943266124031,"sku":"9781782829454","price":14.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_92a99de5-c9a5-4a98-a45b-bdaa4767b4ea.jpg?v=1681497148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zigzagging-isabel-anderson-9781782829454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
