An Army nurse in two wars, Catherine Neville saw the effects of combat on more than one generation of soldiers and sailors. She was stationed in England during the Normandy Invasion and its aftermath, and she treated frostbitten and wounded Korean War soldiers in San Francisco, Osaka, and Tokyo hospitals. Her care extended beyond medicine, to what she saw as the neglect of Korean and Vietnam veterans.
