The hospital itself came under heavy fire on many occasions.[6] Pilgrim was educated at King's College London and was a member of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. She served in Bosnia and Kosovo, prior to her deployment to Basra, and subsequently commanded the base hospital at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. She was nominated by Cosmopolitan Magazine for their Ultimate Woman of the Year 2008 award.[7] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/exclusive-top-bravery-award-for-iraq-993884|title=Exclusive: Top bravery award for Iraq war nurse nicknamed 'Florence of Arabia'|newspaper=Daily Record|accessdate=8 March 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Farmer|first=Ben|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/12102788/Hero-medic-Army-cast-me-aside-when-trauma-was-too-much.html|title=Hero medic: Army cast me aside when trauma was too much|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=17 January 2016|accessdate=8 March 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/58776/supplement/11244|title=London Gazette Supplement 58776, 24 July 2008, page 11244|accessdate=25 February 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite book|author=Edward C Joslin|title=Observer Book of British Awards and Medals.
