My Grandmother was one of a small group who fled #Mechelen when the invading German army shelled it, only to be warmly welcomed by the people of #Monaghan days later, in October 1914. A fine thread, from @Care2much18. #BelgianRefugees @belgianrefugees #BelgianSquare #BelBroid

Thousands of Belgian refugees arrived in Ireland in the winter of 1914. I thought it might be interesting to go through newspaper archives, to see where around the country they went and how they were treated on arrival. A thread on that, for anyone interested. /1

@CMacCoille @belgianrefugees @IrishRefugeeCo @philipnolan1 @RTESundayMisc @FrankmcnallyIT There was a book published to mark 100 years of #BelgianSquare in #Monaghan, to which I contributed an article on my Grandmother, the @belgianrefugees and #refugees in general. I can inflict it on you if you DM me an email address! #WW1
