Excluded From The Record Women Refugees and Relief 1914-1929 T his study reveals women’s hitherto ignored lives as refugees and relief workers during the First World War and shortly after. The focus is on coping with and changing the devastating effects of war on civilians, rather than the fighting of it. Wherever fighting took place, people fled from their homes or were trapped behind enemy lines. Most refugees were woman and children. While some came to Britain, others remained in or near their country of origin. They were helped, sometimes under bombardment, by Quakers and Suffragists.

Facing East: England’s Eastern Counties Welcome Belgian Refugees 1914 - 1919 From August 1914, people from Belgium came to Britain seeking shelter from the war. Some settled in Hull, whilst other went to Lincolnshire. Intitially, they were regarded as heroes because of their stand against the German armies, Local including Belgian Catholic Priests already resident, provided homes, clothes and food, they also raised monies for refugees support. Belgian family life continued in much the same way as their homeland. In return, the refugees contributed towards the war effort, for example working in munition factories in Lincoln, Gainsborough and Grimsby, and helping with farming in South Holland.
