Comments from a nun living in a foreign country during the hostilities, however, can provide new insights. Isoline Jones was born in 1876 in England, and attended the boarding school at Tildonk, Belgium, run by the Ursuline sisters. She eventually converted to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism and made her perpetual vows in 1907 as a member of the Ursuline community. Her religious name was Mother Marie Georgine. In August 1914, German forces invaded Belgium and occupied the convent and school, and her impressions of the war years are preserved in a series of letters written in the form of a diary. The siege of Antwerp, the plight of refugees, interaction with the German soldiers, and the hectic daily life of the convent were recorded by Mother Marie Georgine. Events occurring throughout Belgium did not escape her attention, and she did not avoid describing the brutality of war. Although sections of her diary have appeared in print, this is the first publication of Mother Marie Georgine's entire diary. Her impressions of World War I offer new perspectives on this tragic event"--Publisher description. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zBelgium 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$zBelgium$xHistory 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aTildonk (Belgium)$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 607 $aBelgium$xHistory$yGerman occupation, 1914-1918$vSources 607 $aBelgium$2fast 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory. 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory 676 $a940.4144 700 $aMarie Georgine$cMother,$f1876-1962,$01249926 702 $aKollar$b Rene 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160296603321 996 $aA nun, a convent, and the German occupation of Belgium$92896325 997 $aUNINA
