cherry Nurse Blake: You're in the Army Now

Nurse Blake Overseas
Three books
Author: William Starret
Publisher: Gramercy Publishing
Dates: 1942-44

"But a nurse is a soldier, even in peacetime."
--From Cherry Ames,
Army Nurse
, p. 30


Nurse Laura Blake serves in the Pacific theater with the Army Nurse Corps, encountering spies as well as some moral dilemmas.

From a small town in New York State, young and dedicated nurse Laura Blake joins the Army Nurse Corps to serve her country as a "ministering angel to the U.S. armed forces in action," starring in a short-lived wartime series of three books about "a girl who was at once a nurse, a patriot, and a woman in love."

Nurse Blake, USA, 1942
Nurse Blake Overseas, 1943
Serving with the Army Nurse Corps, Laura's stationed in New Guinea, where her soldier fiance, now a pilot, has also been transferred. When she suspects a doctor is feeding information to the enemy, she pretends to be in love with him so she can ferret out the truth--but her deception endangers her relationship with her fiance.

William Starret was the pseudonym of Marshall McClintock, who, as Gregory Duncan, also wrote some volumes in the World War II-era Fighters for Freedom series.

Nurse Blake at the Front, 1944
