Newsreel and commentary describe the effects of shrapnel during World War One. Shrapnel shells caused more injuries than any other weapon of the war years. A dramatic monologue introduces field surgeon Elsie Inglis, a pioneering Scot who worked in field hospitals in Serbia. She tells us how women are helping to deal with a range of threats such as shrapnel injuries and infections such as typhus and dysentery. Elsie looks forward to a world after the war, where women enjoy equality with men - and the right to vote.
