Publisher's Synopsis
The Flaming Sword: In Serbia And Elsewhere is a book written by Mabel Annie Stobart in 1916. The book is a first-hand account of Stobart's experiences during World War I, particularly her time in Serbia as part of a medical unit. Stobart was a British suffragette and nurse who, along with a group of other women, formed the First Serbian Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospitals. They were sent to Serbia to provide medical aid to the Serbian Army during the First World War. The book details the challenges and hardships that Stobart and her team faced during their time in Serbia, including harsh weather conditions, lack of supplies and equipment, and the constant threat of enemy attacks. Stobart also writes about the bravery and resilience of the Serbian people and soldiers, as well as the kindness and hospitality shown to her and her fellow nurses. In addition to her experiences in Serbia, Stobart also writes about her travels to other parts of Europe during the war, including France, Italy, and Greece. She provides insight into the impact of the war on these countries and the people who lived there.
