Since the publication of the First Edition of Eastern Hospitals and English Nurses, a very great change has taken place in the state of affairs in the East. The War has ceased - the allied forces have returned to their homes - the Hospitals on the Bosphorus, in which the Writer spent much of her time, have been handed over to their rightful owners, and are once more occupied by Turkish soldiers; and now nothing is left behind to tell the future traveller of the occurrences in which this country took so important a part, but the consecrated spots of ground, dotted with monuments and grave-stones, under which lie the remains of so many thousands of brave soldiers.
