Paperback. Condition: 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.

One page, 12mo, bifolium, vestiges of glue from laying down, fold marks, good condition, text ("lithographed" is pencilled on the recto of the second leaf) clear and complete: "Ladies Committee for the Address from Women of Great Britain & Ireland to the Women of the United States on Slavery. [.] Sir | I beg to forward the enclosed papers for publication in your journal. | The address is being actively circularised for signature by a Ladies Committee in London & it is hoped that by a general movement in cooperation throughout the kingdom the address may be rendered worthy of the Country & of the important cause which it is intended to advance | I am your ded[icate]d ser[van]t | Elizabeth Sutherland | Hon. Sec." It is evident that several copies of this letter were sent to various journals (hence the use of lithography), but no other copy has been traced and no reference to this letter found. The Address, with a list of eminent female supporters (from Aristos to Mrs Charles Dickens), was published in "The Times", 29 November 1852, p.8 (image of article available). Note: A newspaper clipping on the recto of the second leaf contains an anecdote about the "Women's Address on Slavery" (a meeting attended by Harriet Beecher Stowe) in which an enthusiastic American remarked ""Well, if we had such a queen, I guess we might get on very well at Washington". B. The Duchess's interest in slavery attracted the attention of Karl Marx (Marx, Karl (12 March 1853). "The Duchess of Sutherland and Slavery". The People's Paper (45).) who accused her and Dickens, etc. of "telescopic philanthropy", seeking distant and remote causes rather than home issues. C. "Uncle Tom's Cabin", serialised from 1851, was published in 1852.

First edition of the author's report of her experiences with her ambulance unit in Namur during the First World War. The Duchess of Sutherland's written account is accompanied by photographic plates and facsimiles of the passes that she used to travel to Maubeuge and back to England. After the outbreak of the First World War, Millicent Leveson-Gower (1867-1955), Duchess of Sutherland, left England for France in August 1914, where she set up an ambulance for those injured in the conflict. The ambulance was sent to Namur, in Belgium, which was captured by German forces almost immediately. Thanks to her connections to the English and German Royal Families, the duchess was permitted to return to England; however, the experience had affected her deeply and she immediately began planning her return. Six Weeks at the War was published to raise funds for a new ambulance unit, and she returned to the continent before the end of 1914. She ultimately became the director of a Red Cross Field hospital and remained in post until 1918. For her war work, she was awarded the French Croix de Guerre, the Belgian Red Cross and the British Royal Red Cross. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Octavo. Photographic frontispiece and 11 plates. Original red card wrapper, front cover lettered in black. Spine toned, loss at foot, head of front joint split, wrappers little creased, splash mark to rear cover, couple of pencil marks to contents: a good copy of this fragile publication.
