A wide range of women found themselves in a war zone during the Great War, and there is much documentary evidence showing that many women who wished to serve their nation had a fixation on the front. This chapter focuses on three groups of women who wrote about their experience of the front lines: medical staff, auxiliaries and soldiers. The medical professions offered women the traditionally acceptable paths to national service, although even they encountered obstacles to engaging in work in military units. Only a small number of women doctors reached the Western Front, more served in the East, and most remained in the rear. When all-female volunteer units went to the Eastern Front, those in auxiliary positions as drivers or cooks were caught up in work of many kinds. Female soldiers were nonetheless a rare phenomenon, although on the Eastern Front several women recorded their service as soldiers.
