‘The Times’ reported that at night she would walk among the beds, checking the wounded mean holding a light in her hand.

Florence gained the nickname 'the Lady with the Lamp' during her work at Scutari. 'The Times' reported that at night she would walk among the beds, checking the wounded men holding a light in her hand. The image of 'the Lady with the Lamp' captured the public's imagination and Florence soon became a celebrity.

hope this helps :)
