orphelin guerre 14-18 1914 1918 serge castel marcel aubert nancy miss daly

Serge Castel (left) and Marcel Aubert (right) are the two "Stars and Stripes" boys in the Refugee Colony from Nancy which has been installed for the summer on the sea shore of Normandy.

These boys sing "The Star Spangled Banner", La Banniere Etoilée, as few schools of American boys can sing it, but then they know from their own experience what "the rocket's red glare" means, what "perilous nights" really are, and what bombs can do when they "burst in the air".

Serge and Marcel are the "filleuls" of the ship "Nancy", launched in Portland, Oregon, and of an American Captain, and they are envied by all the rest of the school.

The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

The beach is the children's paradise at Le Home Varaville near Cabourg.

This is one of the colonies established by the Comite Franco-Americain pour la Protection des Enfants de la Frontière, which with aid from the American Red Cross, provides a home and education for about 1500 children made destitute by the war.

This colony is made up of about 60 boys who live under the care of French sisters and an American lady, Miss Daly, in what was formerly a sea shore hotel.
