I was deeply moved when I saw this monument the last time I was in London. Edith Cavell was a British nurse in WWI who insisted on treating wounded soldiers on both sides. After helping 200 allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium, she was arrested, charged with treason, and sentenced to death. Despite worldwide pleas for mercy she was killed by a German firing squad on October 12, 1915.
