English Nurses with Americans in France

Scanned pages from the exercise book which is in my possession. I have scanned the pages in order from the exercise book they were written in but the entries are not all in date order. Some entries are signed and dated, some are not. The pages are freyed and faded in places so not all the scans are clear.
In July 1917 my Great Aunt Dorothy Coller travelled over to France with a friend, from Oldham in Lancashire to work as a nurse attached to American forces near Bourges. She compiled a collection of thoughts, rhymes and observations written by herself, colleagues and some servicemen.

Marcel Tuech (à droite sur la photo) était maréchal des logis, originaire de Saint Victor de Malcap dans le Gard. Désireux d'épargner à ses petits enfants les récits des horreurs de la guerre, il cherchait de bons souvenirs à raconter. Ainsi, il insistait sur le fait que cette guerre lui avait permis de découvrir d'autres régions de France et, pour la première fois de sa vie, de rencontrer des Anglais. Et lorsqu'il partageait un petit déjeuner avec ces derniers, ils avaient des tranches de jambon épaisses comme la main ! racontait-il. Quand il est entré de la guerre gazé,le médecin ne donnait pas longtemps à vivre à ce jeune homme de 24 ans épuisé. Un régime à base de lait de poule (avec 6 jaunes d'oeufs chaque matin !), faute de l'achever,l'a tiré d'affaire, et il a vécu dans le Gard jusqu'à l'âge de 97 ans ! Il portait toujours sa Croix de Guerre et, lorsqu'on le questionnait sur cette médaille, répondait avec son accent méridional c'est la médaille des imbéciles !. || Photo prise pendant la guerre. Nous ne connaissons pas le nom de l'homme qui est à gauche de Marcel Tuech.

The man standing is Bartholomew Deasy. He came from Cork City, Ireland. He joined the British Army and was in the regiment of the Munster Fusiliers. He served in France for about four years. In this picture, he is standing at the grave of his brother-in-law whose name is Joseph O'Donnell. Joseph was killed in France in June 1916, aged about 20. He was killed just before the Battle of the Somme. Joseph O'Donnell is buried in a civilian cemetery in the City of Calais (Northern part of France). || Photography. || || Bartholomew Deasy standing at the grave of his brother-in-law Joseph O'Donnell || Photograph
