She trained as a nurse & midwife joined the Save the Children Fund & was posted to Vietnam in 1967. One of only three British nurses in the region Anne was faced with a vision of hell that her training at Manchester's Royal Infirmary had barely prepared her for.

She went on to take her skills to the victims of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in Cambodia to Lebanon during the Israeli occupation & Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm.
