The text records his impressions following a visit to Belgium to ascertain the condition of the civilian population and the effects of the War on the country. A short introduction by David Lloyd George and illustrative figures are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in personal accounts of the First World War and the writings of Whitehouse.
