Upon learning about the death of her brother, this author gazes at a portrait of him and imagines the irony that the countrymen of Fritz Kreisler had killed him. In a chapter called "Between the Sandhill and the Sea," this author recalls meeting a "highbrow in revolt against highbrows" that she calls "Hope Milroy." This woman describes boarding the HMHS Brittanic and receiving an "efficiency strap" from the Matron for a year of service in her best known-book, which describes the death of both her brother Edward and her fiancé Roland Leighton. That book by her was followed up with two further memoirs partly named "of faith" and "of friendship," the latter of which is about her good friend Winifred Holtby. A marriage to George Catlin, and an account of being a nurse for the Voluntary Aid Detachment are described in, for 10 points, what author's World War I memoir Testament of Youth?
