Two months ago little Gilberte Dieu and her mother left their home in the Somme to go see the soldier father who was in a hospital, badly gassed. When they reached the town where he was they learned that the Germans were approaching their home, and if they wished to save any of thir possessions they must hurry back. They started home, only to find they were too late. Again they turned around to go back to the Hospital, hoping to find the father better, and learned that he was dead. Now they are living in a quiet old town in Normandy. Gilberte is as pale as if she had been ill a long time, but she has been adopted by the Company E of the Telegraph Battalion, and the money they have sent will provide her generously with good food and warm clothing for next winter. Perhaps these the memory of what the war has done to her will fade out partly from her tragic little face. The A.R.C. administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

Two months ago little Gilberte Dieu and her mother left their home in the Somme to go see the soldier father who was in a hospital, badly gassed. When they reached the town where he was they learned that the Germans were approaching their home, and if they wished to save any of thir possessions they must hurry back. They started home, only to find they were too late. Again they turned around to go back to the Hospital, hoping to find the father better, and learned that he was dead. Now they are living in a quiet old town in Normandy. Gilberte is as pale as if she had been ill a long time, but she has been adopted by the Company E of the Telegraph Battalion, and the money they have sent will provide her generously with good food and warm clothing for next winter. Perhaps these the memory of what the war has done to her will fade out partly from her tragic little face. The A.R.C. administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops
