Mary's mum ran a hotel where wounded soldiers sometimes stayed.

When Britain sent soldiers to war in Crimea, disease was more dangerous than the enemy. Thousands of soldiers died from it.

Mary went anyway, using her own money to pay for her journey.

When she reached Crimea, she set up a hotel right on the battlefront.
