"Leif offered to take in one or two of the German - wives of the soldiers who might be in need of help - we heard such pitiful stories about them - they had to leave Tsingtao, but wanted to be near their husbands, so went inland as far as Tsinan & were living there on Chinese chow, in Chinese houses of course in extreme poverty. However the Japanese are spreading themselves about and have taken the railway between Tsingtao & Tsinarfu& now the German refugees have arrived in Shanghai with nothing more than the clothes they have on - everything else stolen from them by the Japanese & Chinese, so we heard - it may be true or not; futility, horror and injustice of war; cook sent away "forcibly".Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest unitUnit1969.0005 Unit 0011MenuBrowse digitised items | Available online
