PART VI A FLAGRANT INSURRECTION   The longer I stayed in Brussels, the more I saw of relentless oppression on the part of the Germans, of growing and reckless defiance on the part of the Belgians. For every man who was deported or shot, ten seemed to spring up to avenge him in some strange and unexpected way. Yet the shooting continued.

PART V LIFE IN OCCUPIED BELGIUM After that terrible night when the Germans had come to the Château d’E——, there were, of course, the bitter and galling readjustments to the new conditions which their coming necessitated.

To those of us who passed through it (even those who, like myself, played such very insignificant roles,) the world still continues largely to be divided into two parts—those who were “in it” and... Read more

During the Great War, Theodora Dodge (1871-1936,) one of the first women Egyptologists from America, volunteered for civilian relief work in France. When the conflict ended, Dodge returned to Manhattan where she resided in a hotel at 37 Fifth Avenue hotel.[1] Soon after arrival, she began contributing articles to pertaining to Egyptian mythology under the pseudonym Hetep en Neter (offering to the god or satisfaction of the god.) Dodge was a member of the Order Of The Living Christ, and... Read more
