WWI nurse lifting some from hell, evacuated (6)
I believe the answer is:
cavell
'wwi nurse' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'lifting some from hell evacuated' is the wordplay.
'lifting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'some from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'llevac' is hidden within 'hell evacuated'.
'llevac' backwards is 'CAVELL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cavell that I've seen before include "Nurse Edith ...... was heroine of WW1" , "WWI nurse executed by Germans" , "I was shot by the Germans" , "Edith --, nurse executed in World War 1" , "Edith -, nurse executed in 1915" .)
