About
Edith Louisa Cavell was a British nurse. She is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without distinction and in helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I, for which she was arrested.

Her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage.
