Title A name given to the resource Letita "Etta" Sparks Description An account of the resource Within a year of shipping off across the Atlantic, Letita "Etta" Sparks is diagnosed with a malignancy is her right breast, which is subsequently diagnosed as carcinoma of the breast, ultimately leading to her death in military hospital, late August of 1917. Etta served for months at the 7th General Hospital in France whilst experiencing 'considerable pain', which she did not report until July 26th - less than a month before her death. The assessment finds the case inoperable, and the condition of Nursing Sister Sparks too severe to be 'invalided to Canada'. The officers finding speak to the plausibility of Sparks as as dutiful contribute to the war effort, despite potentially dooming herself by failing to report her own medical condition in time.
