Famed British Woman Soldier Expires At 80. Wickham Market, England (Associated Press) Flora Sandes, adventure loving Englishwoman who fought in the Serbian army in World War I, died at her home near here Friday. She was 80. At the beginning of the 1914-1918 war she went to Serbia with a nursing unit and served at the front with an infantry regiment against the Bulgarians. Yearning for more action, she tore the Red Cross off her sleeves one day, picked up, a rifle and began her fighting career. Sgt. Sandes, as she was then known, was removed from her last fight with more than 20 wounds. In the hospital she was presented with the order of Kara-George, the highest decoration which could be given a Serbian soldier. She was made an officer by a special act of the Serbian parliament and became a captain.
