On June 27, 1918, the Llandovery Castle, a Canadian hospital ship returning to England, was sunk by a German U-boat in violation of international law. Two hundred and thirty-four crew members, including fourteen nursing sisters, lost their lives. This tragic event marked the most significant Canadian naval disaster of the First World War. Among the victims was Anna Stamers, a thirty-year-old nursing sister from Saint John.
Dianne Kelly, in her meticulously researched volume, delves into the life of Stamers, encompassing her childhood and nursing education in Saint John, her decision to enlist and her transition to military nursing, her service in field hospitals in both England and France, and her final posting aboard HMHS Llandovery Castle. Through this vivid reconstruction, Kelly not only offers an enlightening biography of a young woman's wartime experiences but also sheds light on the crucial role played by nursing sisters during the Great War.
Asleep in the Deep is a captivating addition to the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series, a testament to the enduring legacy of those who served and sacrificed during this pivotal period of history.
