Anthony J Randall examines the resistance movement along the French
and Belgian border during the first year of the Great War,
culminating with the execution of Edith Cavell and Philippe Baucq
in October 1915. There were others: Louise Thuliez, Henriette
Moriame, Jacqueline Van Til, Princess Marie de Croy and Jeanne de
Belleville. They all sacrificed their freedom, if not their lives.
Some were from the French and Belgian aristocracy, others were
simple peasants; all were patriots. Some were rewarded, others
returned to obscurity: all were heroes. Georges Gaston Quien plays
his part in the story. A Frenchman for whom the war was a game and
for whom the consequences of his actions deserve to be his epitaph.
Anthony J Randall looks at the canonical victims of Jack the Ripper
and investigates the family background of their paternal and
maternal lines. Perhaps their histories reveal the origins of their
destiny. Perhaps their family backgrounds hold the seeds to the
paths they trod. In this searching investigation many birth,
marriage and death certificates, and over two hundred census
returns, have been transcribed and presented. This book examines
the history and genealogy of the 'canonical' victims to guide the
reader from the industrial centres of Staffordshire, the wide
marshes of Sussex and the woodlands of the Forest of Dean to the
east end of London and the deprivation of Whitechapel.
