Description | "...managed wonderfully in our first "Evacuations" & saved practically everything but now it is hopeless. The bridges are down, & the trucks standing anyhow on sidings, & worst of all the people have begun looting. I don’t wonder. There’ll be famine, as well as cold in this corner of the world soon, & then the distant prospect of 150,000 British troops at Salonique won’t help much. The beloved British troops, the thought of them always cheers! But not the thought of the idiots at the top who had not enough gumption to know this must happen. Anybody even us women (!) could have told them that the Germans must try and break through to the help of the Turks. We have got a nice building here for a Hospital & Dr Holloway is helping in the Military Hospital. I believe there are about 1000 wounded in the place. I cannot write a very interesting letter..." |
