Exploring the little-known Crimean War (1854 -1856) diaries of an Irish nursing nun, Sr. Mary Aloysius Doyle RRC
This presentation aims to present aspects of a study that aimed to elucidate pioneering nursing practices of The Crimean War (1854 – 1856) through the published diarised lens (Memories of the Crimea, 1897) of an Irish nursing nun Sr. Mary Aloysius Doyle RRC (a Crimean War nursing contemporary of Florence Nightingale) who left St. Leo’s Mercy convent in Carlow in 1854 to nurse casualties of The Crimean War almost 170 years ago. Her diary and other relevant sources are consulted to see if nursing experiences of a 19th century theatre of war are being mirrored in the current war in Ukraine. Attendance may be either in-person or online
