Author HARRY B. BARRETT, life-long resident of Port Dover sees a story wherever he goes. Visiting with Florence Misner Watkinson in November last year, 2012, Harry knew that the World War I nursing service of Minnie and Laurel Misner needed to be told.
His 2013 book is dedicated to the "Army and Navy Nursing Sisters of two Great Wars. A priceless collection of drawings and photographs illustrate this treasure of "almost forgotten history."
The contents of "tattered photo albums and compact diaries, which had been used as autograph albums by [Florence's] two aunts" were a rich source for Mr. Barrett's research.
