Ladies of Charity

Manuscript in pen in Marion Scott's hand. Part of the 'Hospital Pictures' series. After manuscript drafts in the black manuscript notebook 52.1, in which the poem is titled 'Nurses', and a draft sent in an envelope dated 17th November 1917 to Scott. Possibly written while Ivor Gurney was on a signalling course at Seaton Delaval, Northumberland. Included in 'War's Embers' (1919).该钢笔手稿由玛丽昂·斯科特（Marion Scott）亲笔书写，属于「医院图景（Hospital Pictures）」系列作品之一。此手稿基于两份草稿创作：其一收录于编号为52.1的黑色手稿笔记本中，该笔记本内此诗作原题为《护士（Nurses）》；其二为1917年11月17日装入信封寄送给斯科特的草稿。该手稿大概率创作于艾弗·古尼（Ivor Gurney）在诺森伯兰郡（Northumberland）西顿德拉瓦尔（Seaton Delaval）参加信号训练课程期间。此作品被收录于1919年出版的《战火余烬（War's Embers）》一书中。
