Two photos of women with typed captions where Archie Wills writes, "After Armistice and our capture of Mons, I billeted my horses and men in a farm in Thulin, Belgium. I was stricken with 'flu and I was given first-class treatment by these girls, Desiree and Josephine, after the farmer put me to bed in his home. I think they had a lot to do with my survival." "This is Mlle Amelia Morel, of Denain, France, we stopped in this town and she was one of the civilians who greeted us and gave me a healthy meal." Photographers unknown.
