FRENCH REFUGEES FLEE FROM GERMANS

With dll their household goods 1 led on the cart and their two cows being led behind these French refugees are fleeing to points of safety behind the British lines. Many of the inhabitants of the front-line towns were forced to seek shelter thus when the first attack of the German drive was launched. Many less fortunate than these pictured in this British official photo were compelled to leave all their worldly possessions behind when they fled.
