FANY IN PEACE & WAR: The Story of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry 1907-2003

The FANY (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) was formed in 1907 by an eccentric Sergeant Baker, whose vision of its role did not extend beyond his own experiences in the Sudan Campaign. He envisaged a corps of nurses on horseback riding round battlefields succouring the wounded. So the FANY started life with an outmoded role and impractical training and, by any normal standards, should have been ill-prepared for the massive and bloody slaughter of the First World War. Yet they succeeded and, from their eccentric beginnings to today’s streamlined and efficient corps, have evolved an uncanny way of anticipating what their use might be in the event of war or sudden civil crisis.The FANY still enjoy the respect of the public and their military colleagues and their story wil be eaerly read by those who wish to learn more about this unique and somewhat unusual organisation.
