RELIEF ABROAD
TEAMS LEAVE ENGLAND
Shortly after D Day- the first team from the British Guides International Service left Britain for an unspecified destination to take part in the care of the displaced peoples of Europe. The team consisted of nine experienced Guiders, accompanied by two Scouts. The party included also a trained nurse and dietitian, a Serbian woman who was through the Serbian retreat in 1915, a professor of languages at Reading, University, and another university graduate.
The first Y.W.C.A. team of workers for relief abroad has also left Great Britain for the Middle East, where the members hope to gain valuable experience by working with refugees from the countries to which they expect eventually to be sent. This unit includes social workers and catering and domestic science experts. The leader is a much-travelled woman, Mrs. Janson Potts, who until recently was in charge of a large hostel for munition workers in conjunction with the British Ministry of Supply.
