A television play by Michael Barry and Charles Terrot.
From Charles Terrot's novel "Miss Nightingale's Ladies"
[Starring] Maureen Pryor, John Gregson, Rachel Gurney, Betty Cooper

The story is based on the diary of Miss Sarah Anne Terror who was one of the thirty-eight women to accompany Miss Florence Nightingale to the Crimea in 1854. The principle characters are the nurses and doctors who fought to make her venture a success. Their names may be unfamiliar, but in their different ways they possessed the qualities of true greatness.
