most severely affected war zones CT

Miss Frederickson volunteered her
services shortly after graduation from
a training school in Copenhagen. anG
her first service was with q Russian
hospital in st. Petersburg, before reyo-

entire period of the Russian internal
conflict she witnessed scenes of SUI
