Quote from Nightingale

• "At Florence Nightingale's house, London. July
  the 30th. eighteen hundred and ninety. When I am
  no longer even a memory, just a name, I hope my
  voice may perpetuate the great work of my life.
  God bless my dear old Comrades at Balaclava and
  bring them safe to shore."
