My relatives grew up in this period and some were nurses. The problem I have with this show is that the flirting and eyeing up the soldiers is done with the standards of today. Women would of been far more subtle and would not make such flirtatious gestures so obvious. They were there to serve as nurses, they were not women back home going to dances. The problem with many period pieces is that they might get the costumes historically correct, furnishings, food and surroundings etc but they do not get the social values, manners, interactions between the sexes, and appropriate behavior correct. I agree with some of the other comments about the show.
