Edith Louisa Cavell was a British nurse who is remembered for her bravery and compassion during World War I. She is known for her work in helping Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium. Cavell's dedication to her patients and her commitment to humanitarian principles made her a symbol of selflessness and courage. Tragically, she was arrested by German authorities and executed in 1915, but her legacy lives on as a symbol of bravery and compassion in the face of adversity.
