This is the story of 61-year-old Mildred Aldrich and her
experiences of the Great War. She retired to a small hill-top house
called La Creste in February 1914, with views across the Marne
river and valley, little realising she would become embroiled in
the first major battle of the war. In spite of the danger she
decided to stay and help the British soldiers. Her home was for a
few days behind German lines but the British pushed the Germans
into retreat and La Creste remained in British territory for the
duration. They entrenched in the Marne Valley and Mildred's
'beloved panorama' as she described the view, turned into the
valley of horror and death. Informed by journalist Mildred's
unpublished journals and voices of those serving in the BEF, along
with historical military background, this book examines events from
the unique perspective of a remarkable woman who lived through
them.
