The men could not believe that the Tsar’s sister was a simple hospital nurse. “Which sister bandaged your wounds?” the head surgeon asked one man. “That snub-nosed little one over there,” he replied, painting towards Olga. The surgeon looked rather uncomfortable but Olga “laughed gaily at the wounded soldier’s ingenuous designation”. Another man sat with tears trickling down his cheeks after Olga’s identity was confirmed by the doctor.
