Description: | Word processed transcription (4pp) of an interview carried out with her on 2 November 1918 by a local newspaper, in which she recalls how she was working as a governess in Mons when the First World War broke out and spent much of the rest of the war under German occupation in Belgium until repatriated a week or so before the Armistice, describing in particular the harsh German control of civilians under the occupation and atrocities committed, and the cost of food and other supplies. The transcript is accompanied by background notes written by Miss Crick's nephew, the historian and author Martin Middlebrook.
