13 posts todayRT @Rebecca_Barden: @PaulBurston Thank you for saying this. I’m horrified to witness this kind of open misogyny on the Left.

13 posts todayRT @PaulBurston: @suecaro Yes, but there were many women here too, and not only nurses. Jill Nalder’s book is one account from the British perspective.

13 posts todayRT @PaulBurston: @sara_lauchlan Yes, me too. And even the ones who weren’t particularly close - sometimes because their sons had distanced themselves for fear of rejection - even they stepped up at the end and were bereft when their boys died.

13 posts todayRT @ramblingmads: @PaulBurston My mum was one of the nurses doing just that. She said that sometimes all they could do was hold the hand of a dying young man so he wasn't alone.

13 posts todayRT @PaulBurston: @jonwhay Same here. People would do well to check the facts, talk to those who were there and not resort to erasing women.
