Love Always, Alice: A Story of Faith and Service Behind the Front Line of World War II

Beschreibung

Alice was a naive young woman who made an extraordinary choice to become a nurse and join the Army to aid in the war effort during World War II. Her journey will take you from a training camp in Tennessee to her deployment to the European Theater of Operations as part of the 45th Evacuation Hospital that followed closely behind the front line of battle of the First Army. Alice went from a foxhole on Omaha Beach on D-10, through France and Belgium and into Germany. Alice thought she had seen the worst of the war caused by Hitler. And then they came upon Buchenwald Concentration Camp. Alice's sincere desire to make a difference would test her faith in God and humanity. Follow Alice's story, in her own words, from her many letters written home and excerpts from her memoir.
