Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Songs about Edith Cavell ww1 nurse
Though Edith Cavell was the only nurse executed by the Germans in the Great War, she was not the only one sentenced to death.

Ada Cole was also charged for continuing to do what Edith Cavell had been shot for, after that had happened, and in 1918 was sentenced to die, and held in a death cell for three months. Only the Armistice saved her.

Here is a site about her, and her tireless campaign on behalf of ill-treated horses, both in the War and later. There's a horse-rescue centre named after her in Harlow.
