Description
Sermaize les Bains, France. c. 1919. An informal group of members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) with children and babies, probably orphans at the Sermaize Forest Hospital. The Society had organised the Friends War Victims Relief service at the outbreak of war to provide care for war victims. The woman in the hat, nursing a baby is probably Sister Ethel Helena Ubsdell, a British nurse who was working with the Friends at the end of the war. The man, second on the left, is wearing a uniform with the distinctive black and red star on his sleeve. This identifies him as a member of one of the Friends services. (Donor B. Holt)
