EDITOR'S COMMENTS: It’s a truly beautiful story, told very well, and I teared up again at the end. As I was reading, I couldn’t help but imagine what it must have been like for the nurses and the soldiers. To face such brutality and have to bear it with a calm demeanour, not letting it affect you publicly. I think you’ve captured the moment incredibly well.
