Loiseau Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There's an interesting website here about Anne Morgan, an American woman who went off to France in 1917 to organise relief for refugees from the battlefield areas and the rebuilding of their shattered homes. This page has a link to Morgan's letters home, which relate her achievements and frustrations. For example, after tireless efforts to start resettling people in the areas that had been retaken by the Allies in late 1916, all the work was undone when the Germans staged their Spring Offensive in March 1918 and the whole area became a battlefield again...Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiseau Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 I haven't tried the films yet, Chancer. But I found the letters very moving and enlightening.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
