You'll be exceedingly lucky to find anything. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 3 May , 2020 Share Posted 3 May , 2020 Bonjour Christine and welcome to the forum. If you can provide your grandfather's name there is just a chance that some kind person on the forum may know the best place to look. Amitiés seaJane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalredcross Posted 3 May , 2020 Share Posted 3 May , 2020 The Wounded Allies Relief Committee operated under the British Committee of the French Red Cross. The hospital at Limoges, situated in the Musee Ceramique, lasted from January 1915 until March 1917, though it had been in existence before the WARC took it over. As far as is known, no records of the BC FRX survive. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted 3 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2020 Hello seaJane My grandfather's name : Charles Billon In june 1916, he received a letter from a nurse. She worked in this hospital. I'm trying to identify her, she didn't sign with her name. Perhaps someone will recognize this writing... (I know that Juliet Mansel worked in this hospital during this time).
