Synopsis
Excerpt from Six Weeks at the War
IT is difficult to write an introduction to one''s own book, and especially to a few rough diary notes strung together in a hurry to meet the exigencies of the hour.
I have been asked to convey an impression of the German invasion of Belgium during the first weeks of the war.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of the German invasion of Belgium during the early weeks of World War I, seen through the eyes of a British woman serving with the French Red Cross. The author's journey takes her from England to Paris and finally to Namur, Belgium, where she establishes a field hospital within a convent. As the German army advances, the author and her team of nurses find themselves in the midst of the unfolding conflict, witnessing the devastating effects of war on the civilian population and the resilience of the Belgian people. The narrative vividly portrays the chaos and confusion of the invasion, the constant threat of bombardment, and the desperate attempts to provide medical care to the wounded amidst the escalating violence. The author's observations provide a unique perspective on the German military tactics, the psychological impact of war, and the complex dynamics between the invading forces and the occupied population. Through her experiences, the book explores themes of courage, compassion, and the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful testament to the human cost of war and the importance of international cooperation in upholding peace and freedom.
