France had to open many orphnages during World War I and oprste then in the 1920s and early-30s. We notice mention of an orphanage, but have been unable to find details. We suspect that the Committee did not have an orphanage itself, at keast a long term facility. This was Government responsibility. The Committee may have aided orphanages the Government opned inthe Pikardy. World War I was very different than Workd War II when most of the casualtuies were civilians. The great bulk of the people injured or killed during WirkD War I were the soldiers. That meant that many children lost therir farters or had fathers would eere injured abd inable to support their family. Very few children lost their mothers. The problen was that it was the father who was ther bread winner. Thus many mothers were left unabke to support the fa,ily. Many has familt support, but not all. We have found Committee feeding, but this may be feeding being conducted the the Committee clinics.
