Short and brunette, she was one of the first nurses to land in France, wading ashore with the hospital platoon on D-4. She was up to her neck in water and hung on to the belts of the men to keep from losing balance and going in over her head.

 

 

What an amazing woman. Great article and thanks for sharing.

There is a great book about her that I highly recommend: "American Nightingale: The Story of Frances Slanger".
