I'm having for lunch? Now in the second in our series

on World War One At Home, I've been finding out

:16:31.:16:58.

about a famous author whose name is known around the world, but whose

:16:59.:17:01.

war time work is little known. In 1914 Agatha Christie joined the

:17:02.:17:04.

volunteers helping wounded soldiers She quickly moved up

:17:05.:17:06.

the ranks to become a nurse. In a rare interview,

:17:07.:17:09.

recorded towards the end of her life and now held by the Imperial War

:17:10.:17:12.

Museum, Agatha described her time I think it's very satisfactory work,

:17:13.:17:15.

nursing. Because somehow, what you'rd doing,

:17:16.:17:25.

you feel that if you're going to succeed `t all

:17:26.:17:32.

in it, that person will be cured. With her fianc? Archie Christie

:17:33.:17:39.

among the first to go to Fr`nce Agatha wanted to do her bit

:17:40.:17:43.

for the war effort. He had just been accepted

:17:44.:17:49.

in the RAF, so I felt, you know It's quite eerie being in hdre

:17:50.:17:51.

in a way, isn't it, because these surroundings would be exactly

:17:52.:18:09.

as Agatha would have known them She worked here in Torquay Town

:18:10.:18:15.

Hall, which had been transformed This woman, Joan,

:18:16.:18:17.

has studied the life and work of this First World War nurse,

:18:18.:18:24.

and on tours of Agatha's Torquay After a few days, she was promoted

:18:25.:18:26.

to the bedside because the mature ladies hadn't re`lised

:18:27.:18:35.

what hospital nursing involved. So they discovered it

:18:36.:18:40.

was quite gruesome? Gruesome, yes ` emptying urhnals,

:18:41.:18:45.

washing and scrubbing. The casualties came straight

:18:46.:18:50.

from the trenches in those days with the very galling injurhes,

:18:51.:18:58.

bandaging, not looking very clean. And long before Agatha's wrhting

:18:59.:19:06.

career began, she was penning letters for the

:19:07.:19:08.

wounded soldiers, though thdy didn't He said put what you like ` no,

:19:09.:19:10.

she said, you tell me... So they managed a letter

:19:11.:19:21.

which finished 'yours till hell One for Nelly, one for Marg`ret

:19:22.:19:22.

and one for Jessie. Oh, hah`! She said,

surely they will compare notes! They live in different towns,

:19:40.:19:40.

they don't know each other! He may have got away with that,

:19:41.:19:46.

but most people conformed to protocol and life

:19:47.:19:52.

in the military hospital, jtst as She said she hadn't realised that

:19:53.:19:54.

one had to almost fall down We'd hand things to her and she

:19:55.:20:00.

would hand things to the doctor If I'd handed them to the doctor,

:20:01.:20:14.

done it straight, While she was nursing,

:20:15.:20:16.

Agatha fell ill. She didn't return to

:20:17.:20:26.

the hospital but instead went to work in the dispensary, which

:20:27.:20:28.

reminded her of a conversathon she'd Agatha said at the time, "I'd

:20:29.:20:31.

love to write a detective story " But this new work gave her

:20:32.:20:39.

the inspiration ` it seems @gatha "I've now got time, and I'm going to

:20:40.:20:49.

try to write the detective story. During her time working in the

:20:50.:20:59.

dispensary, Agatha wrote thhs poem: 'From the bourgeois time to
