Anna Etheridge was a Union nurse and Vivandiere who served during the American Civil War. She has been awarded the Kearny Cross for her great service to her nation. She was a very brave, resilient, yet tender woman who was always at the forefront of battle. Aided with bullets and pistol, she would ride on a horseback and help those wounded soldiers in battle. Her great service has led her to be at the forefront of continuous American Civil War where people have admired her dedication for her work.
