Many years later Dr James Barry worked in a war

hospital. Here he met Florence Nightingale, a nurse.

Florence Nightingale was also known as The

Lady with the Lamp, because she would check on

wounded soldiers at night. She became famous

during the war because she asked the army leaders

for cleaner living conditions and healthier food for

the soldiers. Dr James Barry had been asking for the

same things for many years.
