The ten, graduate and volunteer, Red Cross nurses who offered the highest sacrifice of their life for our country during this war are mentioned. Reference is also made to the recognition and appreciative acknowledgements for the great contribution, the devoted services and the sacrifices the Greek nurses rendered to their country, by the Army, the Academy of Athens, the Hellenic Red Cross and the International Committee of Red Cross as well as the Greek society.

Koletti and also the selected reports of graduate and volunteer nurses, on their war experiences, which follow, are offered by the Association to the younger generations of nurses and to those who will come after them, as a greatly indebted obligation.
