2 She was a nurse / soldier.

Text Interface Macmillan Publishers Limited 2011

Florence Nightingale
I think one of the
most interesting
people in history was
Florence Nightingale.
She became a nurse
in 1844. In October
1853, the Crimean
War started. Florence
wanted to help
the soldiers so she
travelled to the war. There were thousands
of soldiers in hospital. The hospital was
dirty. There were rats and some men
didnt have beds. Florence and the other
nurses cleaned the hospital and looked after
the soldiers.
On 9th July, 1860, she started a nursing
school in London. It still exists today.
She died at 12pm on 13th August, 1910.
I like Florence Nightingale because she
wanted better hospitals and training for
nurses.
