Description
Grave of Edith Cavell, Norwich Cathedral, Norfolk, England, UK. Edith Louisa Cavell (4 December 1865 â 12 October 1915) was a British nurse and member of La Dame Blanche. She is celebrated for treating wounded soldiers from both sides without discrimination and for covertly helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium and return to active service during the First World War, which in wartime was a death penalty offence under the German military law of the Second Reich. Cavell was arrested and court-martialed, found guilty, and sentenced to death by firing squad.
