This led her to realize her need of professional training`. There were n-o training schools for nurses in England at that time, but she learned that there were in Germany, and in spite of the optposition of her family, she in- sisted on taking the course. She then went to Paris, where some hospitals were also teaching women the essentials of nursing practice. When she returned home she was almost the only trained nurse in; `England.

Miss Nightingale offered her ser- vices to the Government and a few weeks later arrived at Scurate. with her band of thirty-eigiht nurses. Her work in the Crimea, her reputation-, herfzcial position, and above all, her nowledge and courage, made it possible or her to bring about a revolutionary change in the military medical services of the day. Henri Dunant, a young public- spirited citizen of Geneva, was travelling a few years later in Northern Italy. He had read the reports Florence Nightingale had made to the British `GpOV8I'X1l'l]8Tlt and nding himself in the neighborhood of the French and Austrian armies, ' decided to see how the sick and wounded were cared for. Following a bloody battle, he saw a eld strewn with dead and dying men, many suffering indescribable agones, ' with no one to bring them help or relief. He at once oragnized_an extemporary but eeffctive voluntary medical service, to which hundreds owed their lives. For the next three years Henri Dunant devoted himself to the task of awakening the conscience of the world to the intolerable and unnecessary suffer- ing which resulted from the decient I medical arrangements of armies. As a result of his eorts the ~ eva Convention was signed in b 4. The signatory nations agreed that civilian volunteers might be regularly organized in connection with armies. Their duties were to; care for the sick and wounded. They were to be absolutely neutral and respected as such. The emblem by which they might be recognized was the Red Cross. 1 EMBED. {The new King was born on De `Acember 14, 1895, being the second ;son of King George V., and "as ;named Albert Frederick Arthur `George. After his nursery days, 'his studies were directed by his own tutor. At the age of 14 he en- ;tered the Naval Training Oolle-ge at :OsoIbrne. In 1912. at the an nf' 1:7 ; LCLCU Luv naval naming Uoue-ge at 1912, at the age of 17, ihe passed out of Dartmouth Col- lege, and on his training cruise on zthe Cumberland he visited the West llndies, Canada and Newfoundland. _;'He was made a niidshipnralm in 1913, and in this capacity he saw active service with the Grand Fleet after iwar was declared agamst `Germ-any lin 1914. In the autumn of 1914 he lwas transferred to a hospital ship !for an operation for appendicitis, ibut joined his ship later and was on -board the Collingwood at the Battle `of Jutland, where he was mentioned in dispatches for coolness in the Iface of danger and courage under ire. In 1917 he underwent another 1 loperation, and shortly after, recur- rimg illnesses, which had persisted all through his naval service, com- 'pelled him, much against his will,` Ito give up his cherished ambition for I a sail-or s career. Ar\-4 I,_,' I` ' ` ` ' u .:uu'uJ D Ud.l`UCI'. After leaving the navy he joined! the Royal Naval Air Force, as the vKing was anxious that one of the Royal Family should be connected with that arm of the service. His enthusiasm in this new sphere of activity, coupled with hard work, `soon won him promotion, and when ;the army and naval air forces were `merged he `became a captain in :what was now the Royal Air Force. During the closing period of the war he served in France on the staff of the Air Force. Afterwards `in 1919, he qualied for his pnovs: I-rnrticiate and was appointed a] ` Squadron Leader. l AIL- 7 ' ....l ......... vu .._u;q,uc1..
