Edith Cavell

Nurse

from:Swardeston, Norfolk, England

(d.12th Oct 1915)

Edith Cavell was British nurse who ran a Belgian clinic, she saved many lives on both sides. She also managed to smuggle nearly 200 British, French, and Belgian soldiers and military-age men out of Belgium, which was occupied by the Germans. When the plot was discovered, Cavell was put on trial by the German government and executed, despite worldwide outrage. Her death caused shock waves, helped a surge in British recruitment, and made her a martyr.
