La femme française pendant la guerre

August 1914 wife and mother womans first sacrifice is to see her beloved depart for the front In a city she works in railway stationsas a waitress or even as a chimney sweep At the factory she only interrupts her work to feed her baby At the country she does the plowing or picks olives But above all a wife she brings the soldier fraternity and tenderness parcels love notes and care She brings flowers to the deads tombs and remains ever present in the soldiers heart
