I'm also waiting to hear on this one. I know that Canadian wives went to England, but I have not found evidence of one going to France. I presume it would be to the coastal hospitals? And could they have travelled to Spain, and then crossed into France from the south? There certainly were some pretty adventurous ladies around. Peter

My grandmother visited my grandfather in France - we have a photograph of them together on a platform at Armentieres railway station - but this was after the end of the war, probably in 1919. I can vaguely remember them talking about this when I was very young, but it didn't seem to have been that big a deal - or maybe I just didn't pick up on how big a deal it might have been!
