Synopsis

This book delves into the profound impact of the First World War on the town of Folkestone, England. In August 1914, the tranquility of Folkestone was shattered by the arrival of thousands of Belgian refugees seeking shelter from the invading German forces in World War I. The townspeople displayed remarkable compassion in welcoming these displaced families and individuals, providing food, shelter, and whatever assistance they could offer. The book also sheds light on the experiences of local Territorial soldiers who bravely answered the call to arms, embarking on a perilous journey that would forever alter their lives and the course of history. Through meticulous research, the author presents a captivating narrative that illuminates the transformative power of war, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring bonds forged in adversity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
