Podcast appearances and mentions of Edith Cavell

In this episode we travel to Norfolk and follow the incredibly brave story of Edith Cavell, the Christian nurse who helped 200 Allied soldiers escape back home. We explore her home village of Swardeston and learn about how an American diplomat tried to save her life. We then go to Norwich and discover how she is remembered and we pay our respects at her final resting place in the grounds of Norwich Cathedral and reflect on your extraordinary life.

No-one can fail to notice how many statues of Great Men there are around London: stern politicians, military generals, imperial adventurers . . . But what about women? As shown by Juliet Rix in London's Statues of Women (SafeHaven Books, 2025), women are surprisingly well represented amongst London's statues. Recent years have seen new statues of Virginia Woolf in Richmond, Mary Wollstonecraft in Stoke Newington, even boxer Nicola Adams in Brent. But there are also groundbreaking statues commemorating the Black community, notably the two of Brixton resident Joy Battick on its railway station platforms. And you'll find historical figures from Florence Nightingale to Joan of Arc and Edith Cavell – as well as Twiggy. And how many ballet dancers are commemorated, and where? And which famous tennis player was the unlikely model for the young girl with dolphin by Tower Bridge? This is a book that really will make you see London in a new way. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tonight I will be speaking to Doug who is from Alberta Canada. John writes "My family and extended family arrived at the Wabasso Campsite the afternoon on Sunday August 7th 2022. Its important to note that the holiday fell on August 1st that year so we arrived after the long weekend rush, additionally it was a Sunday (not on a long weekend) so the campground wasn't as busy. Our trailer was located at the first spot (D1) on the right as you enter Loop D at the Wabasso campsite. Our family typically books this campground during this time year every year so we're familiar with the area. My father and mother in-law as well as my brother and sister in-law along with my two nephews (6 & 8 years old at the time), joined my wife and I and our two daughters (5 & 7) for a week-long family camping trip. We had booked site D1 for my immediate family, my father and mother in-law we located directly NW of us across the roadway and my brother and sister in-law were our neighbors directly to the East of us. After a busy first day and getting all three of our sites setup and everyone situated and fed, we decided to have a fire with the entire family at my father and mother in-laws site located directly across the roadway from our site. After the sun had set and darkness was beginning to fall, we decided to put all our children to bed at around 10:00-10:30PM. After tending to our children's bedtime routines, we bid goodnight to our daughters, who were bubbling with excitement about our camping adventure. They giggled and laughed as we left them snug in their beds in our trailer. My wife and I made our way across to rejoin our family around the fire. We all were sitting on one side of the fire when we rejoined the group as there was a light wind and we were avoiding the smoke from the fire. Shortly after sitting, the light wind changed direction and I was the first to take action making the jump across the semicircle now sitting across from my entire family on the other side of the fire. This change in seating now gave me a better vantage point now looking South and in better view of our Trailer and children. Who at this point had quieted down as we could no longer hear laughter coming from our trailer, thinking they were well on their way to sleep.   As soon as I was seated and had taken in a view of our trailer, I noticed something large directly behind our trailer across the roadway. It then started moving West away from the rear of our trailer toward the entrance of the campground. Instinctively I stood up as I knew it was something large but what confused me most was the color. White or possibly slightly gray figure. Now at this time the moon had just finished cresting from behind Mt. Edith Cavell and because there was no cloud cover, the moon provided just enough ambient lighting to witness the event at this hour. According to google earth, I would put the rough distance from my vantage point to the figure at 150-175'. The creature began moving westward, away from our campsite. It appeared to be hunched over, and my gut told me it was intentionally trying to appear smaller, suggesting a keen awareness of its surroundings. Once it starting travelling West away from my trailer, I stood up and once I did the creature took notice and accelerated with such silent pace it startled me. The moment I stood up my wife and sister in-law took notice and both caught obstructed views of the creature accelerating across the terrain away from our campsite. The terrain was mostly bare and filled with deadfall for maybe 25-35 feet or more along the southern side of the roadway providing me with an unobstructed view. The entire event occurred in 5 seconds maybe. Immediately following the event I went to check on my children. When I walked inside the trailer, both were sat up in bed frightened and were both claiming a bear or something big was outside the trailer. Dad calmed their fears, tucked them back in and returned to the fire to debate what some of us had witnessed. Both my wife and sister in-law agree it was a large albino type animal. Myself having the best vantage point, believes it was bipedal and hunched over to appear smaller as its forward limbs were not touching the ground as it accelerated and reacted to my change in behavior. The following day I walked the path I believed it traveled but there were no tracks unfortunately. The Jasper area was very dry and had not seen hardly any rain in the days or weeks leading up to this encounter. Additionally, I also stopped in at the campsite registry and asked the park Ranger if any other campers had reported any albino animals in the area. Which they had not. I am certain this was not a bear or moose as the creature was too silent as it accelerated and moved with agility."   John from Episode 883, if you remember he is a Nurse and had an encounter in 2020. Spoke to John and he wrote a book from eyewitness accounts in his area of Kentucky.  I invited John back to the show to discuss his new book. Here is a like along with the description For centuries reports of bipedal Sasquatch have captivated the public, but a lesser-known phenomenon lurks in the shadows...encounters with quadrupedal Sasquatch. These chilling sightings challenge conventional wisdom, forcing us to reconsider what we think we know about these elusive creatures. In Crouching Behemoth: Quadrupedal Sasquatch, we have the first book of its kind; it is the result of an almost three-year deep dive into spider crawls as well as walking, running, and gallops on all four limbs. Renowned anthropologist Dr. Jeff Meldrum lends his expertise in an exclusive interview, shedding light on the biomechanics and plausibility of this behavior. While he did not fully endorse this type of maneuverability, it is very interesting in what he did say regarding the aforementioned type of behavior and more. Charlie Raymond, one of the top field researchers and founder of the KBRO in Kentucky, weighs into it as well. Besides the multitude of frankly disturbing eyewitness testimony, we will also hear from Dr. David Harmon, a distinguished physician in the treatment of PTSD and how a traumatized witness can be treated! If all this doesn't convince you that this is definitely a different kind of Sasquatch book, you will find that although the subject matter is treated very serious, there is much humor sprinkled throughout this 400 plus page volume to lighten it up once in a while. This book is a fun, must read for Bigfoot enthusiasts, skeptics, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of science, mystery, and the human experience. This book has it all...well, almost all as the scratch and sniff Sasquatch fragrance was eliminated because I didn't want people out there saying this book stinks. You just might like this one, folks!

Edith Cavell was a nurse who became a symbol of courage around the world. In 1915, she was executed for helping Allied soldiers escape - an act that shook many around the world. In the wake of her death, hundreds of nurses and mourners gathered at St Paul's to honour her, and her legacy continues to inspire today. Hear her extraordinary story in our latest Stories from St Paul's podcast episode. Produced and presented by Douglas Anderson.

Quel rôle les femmes ont-elles tenu lors de la Grande guerre ? Nous sommes le 10 mai 1917. Du front, un soldat écrit à son épouse : « Chère Cinna, deux mots en réponse à ta lettre où tu me dis que tu as vendu la génisse. Tu peux faire ce que tu voudras, tu sais que je t'ai laissée entièrement libre. Mon seul désir est de toujours vivre avec toi et les enfants. Le reste, je n'y pense même pas. Je vous embrasse de tout cœur et toi plusieurs fois. Ton mari qui t'aime ». Quel rôle les femmes ont-elles tenu lors de la Grande guerre ? Le temps a poli les images de l'infirmière dévouée et courageuse, de la marraine tendre et généreuse, de l'espionne faussement exotique comme Mata Hari, de la veuve éplorée mais digne… Autant de stéréotypes qui ne rendent pas toujours compte d'une donnée essentielle, d'un sentiment partagé par un grand nombre d'entre elles, celui de la culpabilité. Coupables d'avoir osé vivre sans les maris, les pères, les frères, les fils. Soupçonnées d'avoir voulu les remplacer. Taxées de profiteuses de guerre, après le conflit, elles seront quasiment sommées de rendre leurs places aux hommes. Mais les choses ne seront plus tout à fait comme avant.

In this episode of History Rage, historian Dr. Helen Fry discusses the misconceptions surrounding Mata Hari and Edith Cavell. She reveals that Mata Hari was not a spy, despite popular belief, and that her image as a glamorous femme fatale has overshadowed the contributions of real women in intelligence. On the other hand, Edith Cavell, known as an innocent martyr, was actually involved in espionage and ran her own network behind enemy lines in Belgium. Dr. Fry emphasizes the importance of uncovering the true stories of women in intelligence and dispelling myths that have persisted for decades.HighlightsMata Hari was not a spy, despite popular belief, and her image as a glamorous femme fatale has overshadowed the contributions of real women in intelligence.Edith Cavell, known as an innocent martyr, was actually involved in espionage and ran her own network behind enemy lines in Belgium.It is important to uncover the true stories of women in intelligence and dispel myths that have persisted for decades.The public is hungry for new stories and properly researched history that challenges traditional narratives.Connect with Dr. Helen Fry:- Follow Helen on Twitter: @drhelenfrySupport the Show:If you're fired up by this episode, consider joining the 'Angry Mob' on Patreon at patreon.com/historyrage for exclusive content, early access, and the iconic History Rage mug.Helen's BooksWomen in IntelligenceThe Walls Have Ears: The Greatest Intelligence Operation of World War IISpymaster: The Man Who Saved MI6MI9: A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War TwoThe London Cage: The Secret History of Britain's World War II Interrogation Centre Follow the Rage:- Twitter: @HistoryRage- Paul on Twitter: @PaulBavillFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistoryRageInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyrage/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/historyrage.bsky.socialFrom all of us at History Rage, stay curious, stay passionate, and most importantly, stay angry!

Cuando fue capturada y juzgada, lejos de mentir, admitió todo cuanto había hecho. Fue sentenciada a muerte, y su ejecución se llevaría a cabo el 12 de octubre de 1915. Un día antes de su ejecución pidió ver al capellán H. S. T. Gahan, que recientemente había sido liberado de un campo de concentración. Se le permitió visitarla en su celda. Juntos, de rodillas en el piso sucio y frío de la prisión, celebraron el servicio de comu¬nión. El pastor Leyó algunos versículos y oraron juntos. Al día siguiente se le permitió al pastor Gahan estar con ella durante la ejecución. Edith fue atada a un poste que estaba delante de un oficial y del pelotón de ejecución que constaba de ocho soldados. —        ¡Atención! —ordenó el oficial. En ese momento uno de los soldados rompió filas y dejó caer su arma. — Mi conciencia no me permite dispararle a una mujer. Lo siento, oficial. Los demás soldados titubearon. —        ¡Canalla cobarde! —le gritó el oficial. Sacó su pistola, le disparó y mató al soldado. Olvidándose que estaba atada al poste, Edith en un gesto de misericordia, trató de tocar al soldado caído. —        El patriotismo no basta —dijo ella. En ese momento, el pastor Gahan se dio cuenta que Edith había aprendido a amar a sus enemigos. Jesús nos manda: «Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente [...] Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo» (Mateo 22: 37, 39), esto incluye a nuestros enemigos. Amar a nuestros enemigos parece una tarea imposible, pero debemos comprender el mandato del Señor. Cuando la Biblia habla de amar a los demás no se refiere a que debemos tener sentimientos agradables o mariposas en el estómago por ellos, sino que deseemos su bien y estemos dispuestos a tratarlos con bondad y misericordia. Primero viene la decisión de amar y luego los actos bondadosos y los sentimientos. ¿Se te hace difícil amar a quienes te han hecho daño? Ponlos en tu lista de oración y verás cómo Dios pone amor en ti por ellos. Amar a los demás nos hace completamente libres. 

On this day in 1942, French General Henri Giraud made a daring escape from a Nazi stronghold in Saxony, Germany. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unruly people spewing hateful conspiracy theories about the Pride flag forced Leduc Mayor Bob Young to abruptly cancel a recent council meeting. This, as RCMP are investigating vandalism of a Pride-themed crosswalk in the Alberta city. Incidents like these are making news throughout June (Pride month) across North America...not to mention the boycott campaign targeting Bud Light for partnering with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. 3:35 | So, what gives? What's driving this campaign against Pride? How are lawmakers and citizens alike to respond? Mayor Bob Young joins Ryan for a firsthand account of what went down Monday night, and what he's doing about it.  18:15 | Did you see Jackie Goldberg's rant? The president of a Los Angeles School Board, who happens to be a lesbian, had a pointed message for protesters calling for a book ban outside an optional Pride assembly at Saticoy Elementary School. 20:00 | We're still shaking our heads at the NHL's decision to cancel future themed jersey nights. That means no more Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys, no more Military Appreciation jerseys, and yes, no more Pride jerseys (among many others).

A Noble Woman The Life-Story of Edith Cavell

Friend Within the Gates

Today we are going to talk about a prominent British nurse named Edith Cavell.

Today I talked to Joanna Higgins about her new book In the Fall They Leave: a Novel of the First World War (Regal House Publishing, 2023). Nineteen-year-old pianist Marie-Thérèse has dropped out of her prestigious conservatory in favor of becoming a nurse, much to her mother's disappointment. As she begins her final year of study, Germany invades Belgium on its way to France. It's 1914, and Marie-Thérèse's world is upended by harsh rules and demands that students and staff spy on each other. The matron of the school, who is based on the historical Edith Cavell, is a nurse whose courage saves numbers of Belgians. Her decision to secretly treat all who need help has consequences for everyone on the staff. Marie-Thérèse, while perfecting her ability to bandage wounds and treat patients, becomes friends with German soldiers, falls in love with the two little orphaned girls who've been living at the clinic, and risks her life to follow the matron's courageous defiance of the German army. Joanna Higgins is the author of Waiting for the Queen: A Novel of Early America, a novel for young readers, as well as A Soldier's Book, Dead Center, The Anarchist, and The Importance of High Places, a collection of short stories. She grew up in a small northern Michigan town on Lake Huron, not far from where the young Ernest Hemingway spent summers and an occasional winter. Higgins received her PhD from SUNY-Binghamton, where she later studied under John Gardner, and she currently lives in upstate New York. When she's not reading and writing, Joanna loves to hike with her family and cuddle her three rescue kitties. Learn more about your ad choices.

This Sunday Rich will lift up the life of Edith Cavell. She was a British nurse during World War I, and was eventually in a position where she needed to provide care for soldiers from both sides. She paid dearly for what she said was the only action her faith allowed her to take. Cavell offered some powerful statements about what it means to both love your country and be a disciple of Christ. Susan Frick, a new member, will reflect on her work facilitating a support group for younger onset Alzheimer's, and All-In — The Congo House Band will help lead worship in song.

The Sistory podcast discuss Edith Cavell, World War I British Nurse and spy. She cared for wounded soldiers and helped soldiers escape to safety.

The second (and final) part of my Edith Cavell series. Summer of 1914, WWI has begun.  Edith leaves the safety of England to rush back to her nursing school in Brussels where she has been head matron for 8 years. Operating under the Red Cross she expects to treat wounded soldiers on both sides but the German army has other plans...Taking over the city of Brussels they will open their own hospitals to treat their own wounded.  Meanwhile, allied soldiers left behind enemy lines face either death or POW camps. When the laws imposed upon a people rely on inhumanity, a simple act of kindness also becomes an act of resistance. Unable to treat the wounded Edith is now called to another purpose to save the lives of these men. Working with an underground network she will shelter allied troops being smuggled out of the country. Her devotion to helping others will ultimately come at the cost of her own life. Listen now for the story of Edith Cavell's bravery, her arrest, mock trial and hasty execution as well as the complicated legacy of propaganda created from her death.

On October 12th, 1915 Edith Cavell stands before a firing squad.  A British citizen who has been living and working as a nurse in German occupied Brussels, she has been convicted of "heinous crimes" against Germany and sentenced to death. Her crime: tending to allied soldiers and aiding in their escape from behind enemy lines. To the Germans, she was a subversive rebel. The English would pronounce her a patriot and martyr. But Edith saw herself only as a nurse, doing nothing more than what her vocation required of her: saving the lives of her patients. In Part 1 we will follow Edith from her tranquil childhood in the English country-side to her entering the new world of modern nursing, serving the most destitute and desperate patients in London.  From her achieving her dream of becoming a head matron and running her own nursing school in Brussels, right up to the frenzied start of WWI.

The Canadian Rockies are home to some of the most iconic alpine peaks in North America. Mountains like Alberta, Columbia, Edith Cavell and North Twin (to name a few) are synonymous with classic rockies alpine climbing: variable rock quality ranging from total choss, to flint hard quartzite - hanging glaciers and double cornices, veins of pristine alpine and water ice - and the classic sandbag grade of 5.9 A2. • But if there's one mountain that stands out from the rest (Literally) - it's Mount Robson. Topping out at nearly 13,000' in height, and with huge relief on all sides, Robson is truly a sight to behold. It's massive south face rises nearly 10,000' from the Yellowhead Hwy - luring tourists, hikers and climbers for a closer look. • But it's the northern side of Robson that speaks the language of the true alpinist. In 1913, mountain guide Conrad Kain led a group of climbers to the summit after navigating the crevasse-laden Robson Glacier, and chopping steps up the northeast face and on the the summit. This ultra-classic line, aptly named the Kain Face - was in some ways ahead of it's time - and is still a serious route. • The ante was upped in 1963 when Pat Callis and Dan Davis ascended the intimidating apron of 60 to 70 degree blue ice and steep snow, known as the north face. But it wasn't until 1978, that the biggest face of all - The Emperor Face - was finally climbed by Mugs Stump and Jamie Logan. The duo spent four days on the route - a line that more or less takes the central rib that splits the 8,000' face - and with that, established one of the most committing Grade VI lines in the rockies. • Another line on the face was climbed in 1981, by the legendary Dave Cheesmond and Tony Dick. And finally in 2002, after multiple attempts over many years - Barry Blanchard, Phillipe Pellet and Eric Dumerac climbed “Infinite Patience” - a classic line following couloir like other classic rockies routes. • Although Infinite Patience has now been climbed multiple times (and even soloed by the late Marc Andre LeClerc), it is still one of the most serious lines in the Canadian Rockies - and like other classic rockies routes - an ascent is largely based on finding the face in perfect conditions.   • That's why I was excited to hear about the line getting repeated again in September of this year by the Canadian / Dutch team of Jas Fauteux and Maarten Von Haren. I recently got a chance to talk with Jas about his experience on Robson - what it felt like to find that face in perfect conditions - and what it means to have climbed such an iconic line on the emperor of the rockies. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Music: www.evanphillips.net www.eastonstaggerphillips.com https://www.podpeak.com/andrew-tholberg/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Links: www.thefirnline.com www.evanphillips.net www.patreon.com/thefirnline •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sponsors: www.alaskarockgym.com www.moosestooth.net www.hoardingmarmot.com www.behindthesuntherapeutics.com
