'The British League of Help' with Dudley Giles

Dudley Giles will be giving at talk on The British League of Help. 

The British League of Help was formed in 1920 as a charitable body with a single purpose: to provide aid to communities in the areas of northern France devastated during the Great War. It pursued its objective by encouraging British cities and towns to become a 'Godparent' to a small town or village that had been destroyed; the village was 'adopted', a relationship was established with the people who had returned to their ruined homes, and various types of aid relevant to their particular needs were provided.
