"Edith Cavell, Englishwoman, Put to Death On Charge of Aiding the Allies in Brussels"
1st report coverage on the execution of humanitarian, Edith Louisa Cavell, during World War I by the Germans.
This issue contains other news of the day with much on the war. It also has light browning, a little margin wear and chipping, and should be handled with care.
