This little family from Lille, a paralysed old woman with her daughter and two little children, was forced out of Lille the 25th of December 1917. They were transferred to Belgium, staying there three weeks when they suffered cruelly from cold and hunger, having been reduced to exchanging a few pieces of soap for potatoes. They are now being taken care of the American Red Cross
