Yvonne FitzRoy wrote a book, with this title, about her experiences as an Orderly serving with the London Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospital in Rumania and Russia. Seventy-five women sailed from Liverpool to Archangel on 30 Aug 1916. Miss FitzRoy arrived back in London on the 7 Jun 1917. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Elsie Inglis, arrived back in Newcastle on 24 Nov 1917, and died two days later.
