Nurses Of The Future

A young nurse cadet treating a 'broken arm' case during training in Birkenhead, England, World War II. Girls between the ages of 11 and 17 years who are members of the Birkenhead Nursing Girl Cadets (junior VADs) are being trained in first-aid, home nursing etc at Birkenhead. When they reach the age of 18 they take their place in the nursing section of the VAD (Voluntary Aid Detachment). The girls attend more lectures each week than they would in peacetime, and after 12 months training would be capable of handling casualties following an air raid, as compared with three years training in peacetime.
