Miss Beauchamp's War in Salonika

Miss Agneta Beauchamp was the Treasurer of Somerville College, Oxford, during the 1930s and she was a very close friend of my mother (an undergraduate at the college from 1941-43), to whom she bequeathed her most important papers. During the First World War, Miss Beauchamp (or 'Beechie' as she was known to us) served in Greece and as a result of her distinguished war work she was awarded the Croix de Guerre, amongst other honours. She was a witness to the Great Fire of Salonika in August 1917 and wrote a first-hand account, as well as keeping a newspaper report from the Balkan News, the first edition published after the event. Her passport is also a fascinating record of her extensive travels during the war.
