Papers and photographs of Helen C. Bulovsky, a Madison native who served with the Army Nurse Corps in Europe during World War I. The letters that she wrote home to her family comprise the largest part of the collection. Bulovsky wrote about her excitement and fears while serving in field hospitals mere miles behind the front lines in Europe. She also wrote about her homesickness and her desire for letters from home. Her diary, which has large gaps, compliments the letters nicely and describes many of the same events. Biographical materials, service records, and obituaries fill in the details about her life and military service. Two maps show the extent of her movements while serving in Europe. Photographs include a scrapbook showing Bulovsky and fellow staff from Madison General Hospital with humorous clippings from periodicals to caption the photos. Other photographs show her and fellow nurses in Army Nurse Corps uniforms, Bulovsky's sisters with war souvenirs that she sent home, and scenic shots from Europe and New York harbor. Also included is a CD of scanned images of a scrapbook that documents Bulovsky's service in Europe during the war.
