Summary "An English Woman-Sergeant in the Serbian Army" by Flora Sandes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Sandes's experiences as a volunteer nurse who later joins the Serbian Army during World War I, emphasizing her unique position as the only foreign woman serving in a combat role. The narrative highlights themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the bond formed among soldiers amidst the harrowing backdrop of war. The opening of the book introduces Sandes’s return to Serbia during a tumultuous period of retreat following increased military pressure. It begins with her journey back, detailing her attempts to reunite with Serbian forces after previously serving as a nurse. As she encounters various challenges, including navigating war-torn regions and connecting with local soldiers and officials, Sandes expresses her determination to contribute effectively in the face of danger. The introduction not only establishes her dedication but also hints at the personal and collective struggles faced by those involved in the conflict. The narrative poignantly sets the stage for the adventures and hardships Sandes will experience while dedicating herself to the Serbian cause. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
