Idag tycker Florence...
"It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a Hospital that it should do the sick no harm" Florence Nightingale, 1859.
"People say you should get a taste of the Asian side while in Istanbul. One fascinating focus for such an excursion is the Florence Nightingale Museum, where the Lady of the Lamp saved so many lives.
At the height of the fighting, there were at least 5,000 patients here - some say more. Nightingale arrived in 1854 with a contingent of 38 nuns and nurses. The ratio changed dramatically. From hundreds of deaths to tens.
But where are the hundreds of ordinary soldiers who died?
The answer is: beneath your feet.
The expanse of lawn that leads to the 20th-century cemetery covers the remains of the unnamed who fell in this faraway place some 150 years ago." (Från en hemsida om Florence Nightingale museet i Istanbul, dit jag tvunget skulle, trots att det alltså är en militärbas. Kunde Florence så kan väl jag, tänkte jag. Men den där Florence var visst nåt alldeles extra).
