Edith Cavell was a British Nurse and also a spy. She helped over 200 allied soldiers to escape their captors (Germany, Belguim, e.t.c). As Edith Cavell was helping another troop of captured men she was caught and sentenced to death for treason, it was then that she was executed on the spot by a German firing squad.
