Ms. Que Banh<p>Did you know? The <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UnitedChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedChurch</span></a> once operated a home and school in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictoriaBC</span></a> for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japanese</span></a> girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional <a href="https://beige.party/tags/archivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archivist</span></a> and member of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch</span></a> in Victoria, has recently completed a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/digitization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitization</span></a> project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online.

Mark Stoneman<p>It's hard for me to believe that this Red Cross Moving "Fort" was actually used to convey soldiers between trenches. How could that small wheeled frame make it across the Western Front's rough terrain? And how could such a light-weight protective shield offer meaningful cover? -- Photo by Bain News Service, ca. 1914/15.
