Today's quote

"It was not until I served with the British Medical Unit in Spain that I learned the true meaning of the word comradeship. For the last few months I was with a mobile unit on the Aragon and Teruel Front… We were bombed and machine-gunned from the air; we were continually bring forced to retreat… we had no means of heating in the bitter cold of the winter; we had to deal with as many as 200 cases a night, and we sometimes worked in the most appalling conditions for 40 hours at a stretch."
