When WW11 breaks out, Kitty, a fully trained VAD, is sent to tend wounded soldiers in a military hospital on the south coast. Longing to show off her nursing skills, Kitty finds herself instead on hands and knees scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans.  Then the wounded begin to arrive in their hundreds from Dunkirk…  But it’s when the hospital takes a direct hit that  Kitty is  finally able to prove  to herself and to others that she has the makings of a true nurse.
