Which memoir was released at the closing ceremony of the Military Nursing Service centenary?
- A.Healing Hands and Brave Hearts
- B.Steel and Grace
- C.Glimpses of a Year of Commemoration
- D.Honouring the Past
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Steel and Grace, which is the memoir released at the ceremony. Option A is the centenary commemorative book, whose full title runs Healing Hands and Brave Hearts: MNS@100, so it is a genuine release but not the memoir, and this is the trap the question is built around. Option C is the name of the commemorative video screened at the same function, again a real item from the ceremony but of a different kind. Option D is drawn from the opening words of the centenary theme rather than from any title released. Questions on such ceremonies routinely ask candidates to match each title to its form, so learn the book, the memoir and the video separately along with the commemorative coin.
