FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
THE CRIMEA AND THE 95TH (DERBYSHIRE) REGIMENT

Florence Nightingale has long been recognised as an outstanding figure of British History during the Nineteenth Century. Her famous mercy mission during the Crimean War and her later contribution to both Nursing and Hospital Administration at home and abroad have earned her world wide recognition.
