:16:59. > :17:01.about a famous author whose name is known around the world, but whose
:17:02. > :17:04.war time work is little known. In 1914 Agatha Christie joined the
:17:05. > :17:06.volunteers helping wounded soldiers She quickly moved up
:17:07. > :17:09.the ranks to become a nurse. In a rare interview,
:17:10. > :17:12.recorded towards the end of her life and now held by the Imperial War
:17:13. > :17:15.Museum, Agatha described her time I think it's very satisfactory work,
:17:16. > :17:25.nursing. Because somehow, what you'rd doing,
:17:26. > :17:31.you feel that if you're going to succeed `t all
:17:32. > :17:39.in it, that person will be cured. With her fianc? Archie Christie
:17:40. > :17:42.among the first to go to Fr`nce Agatha wanted to do her bit
:17:43. > :17:49.for the war effort. He had just been accepted
:17:50. > :17:51.in the RAF, so I felt, you know It's quite eerie being in hdre
:17:52. > :18:09.in a way, isn't it, because these surroundings would be exactly
:18:10. > :18:15.as Agatha would have known them She worked here in Torquay Town
:18:16. > :18:17.Hall, which had been transformed This woman, Joan,
:18:18. > :18:24.has studied the life and work of this First World War nurse,
:18:25. > :18:25.and on tours of Agatha's Torquay After a few days, she was promoted
:18:26. > :18:35.to the bedside because the mature ladies hadn't re`lised
:18:36. > :18:40.what hospital nursing involved. So they discovered it
:18:41. > :18:44.was quite gruesome? Gruesome, yes ` emptying urhnals,
:18:45. > :18:50.washing and scrubbing. The casualties came straight
:18:51. > :18:58.from the trenches in those days with the very galling injurhes,
:18:59. > :19:06.bandaging, not looking very clean. And long before Agatha's wrhting
:19:07. > :19:08.career began, she was penning letters for the
:19:09. > :19:10.wounded soldiers, though thdy didn't He said put what you like ` no,
:19:11. > :19:19.she said, you tell me... So they managed a letter
:19:20. > :19:21.which finished 'yours till hell One for Nelly, one for Marg`ret
:19:22. > :19:39.and one for Jessie. Oh, hah`! She said,
:19:40. > :19:40.surely they will compare notes! They live in different towns,
:19:41. > :19:46.they don't know each other! He may have got away with that,
:19:47. > :19:52.but most people conformed to protocol and life
:19:53. > :19:54.in the military hospital, jtst as She said she hadn't realised that
:19:55. > :20:00.one had to almost fall down We'd hand things to her and she
:20:01. > :20:14.would hand things to the doctor If I'd handed them to the doctor,
:20:15. > :20:16.done it straight, While she was nursing,
:20:17. > :20:26.Agatha fell ill. She didn't return to
:20:27. > :20:28.the hospital but instead went to work in the dispensary, which
:20:29. > :20:31.reminded her of a conversathon she'd Agatha said at the time, "I'd
:20:32. > :20:40.love to write a detective story " But this new work gave her
:20:41. > :20:49.the inspiration ` it seems @gatha "I've now got time, and I'm going to
:20:50. > :20:59.try to write the detective story. During her time working in the
:21:00. > :21:15.dispensary, Agatha wrote thhs poem: 'From the bourgeois time to
:21:16. > :21:17.the present day... Their power has been proved
:21:18. > :21:20.and tried. Monk's head blue called Aconite

:21:33. > :21:41.ointment for someone, At three o'clock in the morning I
