Florence Nightingale was popularly known as the Lady with the Lamp. She was sent to

Crimea. Britain and France were fighting against Russia. She was called to take over the
Barrack Hospital, which was in a very bad shape. Though the task was difficult. Florence happily
accepted it as the will of God.

She collected thirty-eight nurses and started for Scutary. She found the conditions at the
hospital horrible. Florence worked day and night. She would visit the patients with an old Italian
lamp in her hand. Patients loved her a lot. They kissed her shadow on the wall.

When the war ended, Florence came back to England. The people of England had been eagerly
waiting for this great angel. However, she never liked crowds and grand receptions. Although
she was exhausted after the war, she continued her efforts to develop the profession of nurses.
She established a school for nursing. Queen Victoria honoured her. She grew weaker and
weaker and on August 13, 1910, she left this world for ever.
