Après avoir quitté le Canada puis après avoir passé quelques mois sur les plaines de Salisbury en Grande-Bretagne, plus d'une cinquantaine d'infirmières canadiennes se dirigent maintenant vers la France afin d'accomplir le rôle pour lequel elles ont été entrainées. Certaines sont restées en Angleterre, d'autres sont parties dans les divers hôpitaux établis en sol français. Annabelle, le personnage principal du livre, partira pour Le Tréport en Normandie où sera établi le premier hôpital général canadien. La guerre ne se manifestera pas par des combats acharnés pour ces femmes, mais elle apparaîtra sur les corps meurtris des soldats et parfois dans les esprits des blessés arrivant du front. C'est du jamais vu. Elles seront confrontées à toutes sortes de situations inattendues. Dans cette noirceur bien connue suscitée par la première guerre mondiale, elles vivront des expériences troublantes et éprouvantes mais aussi parfois réjouissantes, qui viendront apaiser pour un temps les peines rencontrées. Les amitiés, les rencontres avec les populations locales seront bien souvent fortuites, brutalement mis à mal par les départs soudains selon les ordres de mission. Sans être exhaustif, ce livre présente, sous la forme du roman, ce que pouvait vivre ce personnel féminin dans un milieu déjà très éprouvant pour les combattants. Selon des témoignages réels, ces femmes ne se voyaient pas comme des héroïnes, bien que les décisions qu'elles prenaient et les difficultés qu'elles surpassaient les révéler en tant que telles. En marchant avec elles à travers ce récit, nous les accompagnons dans leur périple et nous essayons de comprendre ce qu'elles ont vécu. Nous soulevons aussi le voile de l'inconnu en témoignant de leur audace, leur discrétion, leur intimité, leur sensibilité et de leur compréhension de la guerre. C'est la première fois dans l'histoire de l'humanité que des femmes contribuent activement aussi prêt des combats. Grâce à cette participation, il fût reconnu que l'on ne pourrait plus dorénavant se passer d'elles dans ce milieu militaire exclusivement masculin.

In it he elaborated the principles upon which the Bolshevik, or Communist, Party was founded.

He discussed questions such as the attitude to terrorism, to reforms and to students and other non--proletarian forces, as well as methods of work, the party press and assimilation of the experiences of other countries.
