during the early months of world war i, reports of outrageous behaviour by german troops against british nurses were widespread. the dumfries standard of 16 september 1914 reported that grace hume, a 23-year-old nurse serving in belgium, had had her right breast cut off by the germans and had been left to die. apparently a scribbled note from the dying grace found its way to her sister kate. another letter, from a nurse mullard who had been with grace when she died, said that grace had shot a german who was attacking a patient, and as a result the germans had cut off her left breast as well.
on 18 september the times led with a report on the enquiry into the grace hume affair, revealing that grace had never been to belgium and did not know anyone named mullard. kate, who had invented the whole story, was later convicted of forgery.
