Description

Discover the remarkable history of approximately 250,000 Belgian refugees who sought sanctuary in Britain during the First World War, representing the largest refugee presence the nation has ever experienced. This Routledge study explores how Belgian exiles initially captured public sympathy as victims of German invasion, only to fade from newspaper headlines and public memory following rapid repatriation in 1918 and 1919. The book examines the complex reactions to Belgian refugees throughout the conflict, revealing how wartime priorities shifted and humanitarian welcome gave way to swift departure. By investigating the mass presence of Belgian refugees in Britain and their eventual disappearance from collective memory, this work provides crucial insight into early twentieth-century British society, refugee policy, and the social impact of the First World War on both host communities and displaced populations.
