In June 1914 the American journalist Mildred Aldrich retired to a cottage on a hilltop above the Marne, expecting quiet. Her letters from that summer record the coming of war, the departure of village men, the flight of refugees, British soldiers in her garden and, in September, the sound and sight of the great battle in the valley below.
