Edith Cavell: Anniversary Of Her Death
1962
Cat no. 209252
Anglia Television report commemorating the life and times of nurse Edith Cavell.
Bob Wellings presents a profile of nurse Edith Cavell, charged with aiding the escape of allied soldiers during World War I and executed by firing squad in German-occupied Belgium in 1915. Following a state funeral held at Westminster Abbey at the end of the war, archival film shows the coffin containing Cavell's exhumed body returning to Norfolk and being delivered, with full military honours along crowded streets, to her final resting place in the grounds of Norwich Cathedral. The remainder of the report, excerpted from a 1961 'About Anglia' profile (Cat. 209253), begins at Cavell's childhood home in the Norfolk village of Swardeston. Wellings relates her life, with the aid of archival photographs and newspaper clippings, from school in Peterborough to her work as a governess in Brussels and, finally, a new life as a nurse, which lead to her death at the hands of a German firing squad in October 1915.
