Can't deny the majority of #ww1 stories we collect are male, but #WomensWork100 appears. E.g. this photo inlcudes unidentified #womeninWW1 that was found when researchers using @ww1lit investigated @ArmyLogisticsUK oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/gwa/doc… #InternationalWomensDay

437 children under the age of 12 were killed. Even now that is a shocker. Relative to population Halifax NS suffered more than any other city in the English speaking world during WW1. nitter.gq/GlobalBC/status/938487…
