August 10th, 1917 Diary of Effie Browntrout, Sisters of Mercy Voluntary Aid Detachment, British Expeditionary Saysquack Corps Casualty Clearing Station, Ypres, Belgium I have been near the front for several weeks now. Until now, there was great difficulty and confusion treating wounded Saysquacks. Some casualty clearing stations refused to receive them at all—so a specialist unit was organized to meet the need. This too, has met with its own problems. The Grim Sisters, a Roman Catholic order, are my employers, and they are stern but compassionate disciplinarians. However, whilst they treat the wounded Saysquacks with care and kindness, they regard our furry friends rather as heathen barbarians, and they mandate compulsory religious observance (Sunday mass) for all who are conscious and can sit upright.
