Second screening for Nellie Spindler movie
A second screening of the film about Wakefield's war heroine, Nellie Spindler, will take place next week in the city.
Nellie served as a nurse on the front line in Belgium during World War I and was killed when a German shell hit her tent in 1917.
Raised on Stanley Road, she is the only woman to be buried among 10,000 men at a Belgium war cemetery with full military honours.
