Summary/Abstract: The paper tells of the account of the experience of in the First World War that had left Dr. Dorothea Clara Maude, married Nasmyth. It will be based on the unpublished diaries that had been edited by her son and are kept in the Welcome Library in London. Dr. Dorothea Maude worked on several fronts and at several instances between 1914 and 1918. Her humanitarian work in Serbia was her third wartime excursion, and her stay in Serbia and on the Balkan front, the Salonica front, was her longest engagement. Before that, Dr. Dorothea Maude was in Belgium and Flanders. There is no conclusive reason why her edited diaries have not been published and rarely have been studied; a plethora of reasons includes their editing by her son to comparatively distinct lack of descriptions of hardships and feminist or pacifist feelings.
