First sentence: Foreword By The Countess of Radnor: CELEBRATING SALISBURY NURSES: The production of this charming book incorporating photographs of hospital personalities, events, and scenes from the last hundred years came from an idea floated by a league member in 1998. As contributions began to trickle in it became obvious that people had good tales to tell of days gone by when life was not only much harder but also when a strong sense of belonging to "a bonded community" prevailed between all levels of staff working in the Salisbury Hospitals.
