"Fanny Goes to War" by Pat Beauchamp Washington is a memoir written in the early 20th century, specifically recounting experiences from World War I. This work highlights the role of women in the war, particularly focusing on the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (F.A.N.Y.), of which the author was a member. The narrative follows Fanny, the main character, as she navigates the challenges and dangers of serving in the front lines, illustrating her bravery, determination, and the camaraderie among the nurses. The opening of the memoir introduces the F.A.N.Y., established in 1910 to support the British Army with medical assistance and first aid during wartime. Fanny's journey begins with her enthusiasm to join the corps, her initial enlistment efforts, and her subsequent training in a camp, which prepares her for the harsh realities of war. Through vivid descriptions, the text captures the excitement and challenges of camp life, setting the stage for her deployment to active service. Fanny's eagerness to contribute to the war effort establishes a foundation for her experiences in the trenches, hospitals, and beyond in subsequent chapters.
