Retour à la norm(al)e: Réfugiés et déplacés après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
La contribution britannique à la Résistance: Une Invisibilisation Précoce Et Durable
Cet article interroge les mémoires de la contribution britannique à la Résistance française durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré son caractère important et multiforme et les fortes solidarités auxquelles elle a donné lieu sur le terrain, cette contribution a été rapidement et durablement reléguée dans l’oubli du côté français, et inégalement célébrée côté britannique. Dès avant la fin des opérations militaires, le brutal retour de l’intérêt …
Soigner et résister: Le Service de santé de la France Libre dans le monde (1940-1943)
Les Français libres ont reconstruit, après la défaite de 1940, un service de soutien sanitaire pour les troupes, avec une petite cohorte hétéroclite de soignants et un matériel très disparate. Ce service bouleverse à bien des égards les distinctions traditionnelles entre formations régulières et armées irrégulières, entre légalité et « dissidence ». Il s'agit d'abord de comprendre comment, dans un contexte d'extrême précarité induite par la « rup…

Les « rivales » Mary Spears et Marguerite Catroux. Genre, Care et « scène humanitaire » au Levant, 1940-1945
En dépit de leur rôle important dans l’action sociale et humanitaire en Méditerranée, Mary Spears et Marguerite Catroux ont laissé une image ambiguë dans les mémoires de la France libre. En croisant les archives françaises et britanniques, cet article dresse un premier bilan des fonctions qu’elles remplissent sur un territoire qui fut essentiel dans la géopolitique de la France libre. à travers ce portrait croisé, l’auteur se propose de réfléchir…
From dissident to recognized belligerent? The Free French and the Red Cross Movement, 1940–1943
This article explores how the Free French, who were obsessed with establishing legitimacy and obtaining resources on the international scene, sought to create links with the Red Cross Movement. First, it highlights the significance attached to affiliation with the Red Cross by a political committee-in-exile operating outside the traditional diplomatic framework. Although de Gaulle was relatively successful in this quest and obtained a partial dip…
Caring Under Fire Across Three Continents: The Hadfield-Spears Ambulance, 1941–1945
During the Second World War, the Hadfield Spears ambulance took care of around 22,000 wounded and/or sick patients across three continents. This article analyses how military attacks and instances of violence impacted on the psychological, emotional and physical health of those attending the wounded within this mobile unit. While historiography of allied medicine develops apace, analysis of the Free French health service remains rare. Yet the his…
Diaz Delphine, En exil. Les réfugiés en Europe, de la fin du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours
Les historiennes et historiens des « exilé·e·s » ont grand intérêt à enrichir leur regard en adoptant une perspective transnationale et une approche au plus près de l’intimité des réfugié·e·s. Preuve en est, ce remarquable ouvrage de Delphine Diaz portant sur les chemins des « sans États » de l’« ère des révolutions » à la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à la « crise de l’asile » du temps présent en Europe. À travers une analyse minutieuse d’une multi…
Picturing Displaced Persons (DPs), Exhibiting French Prestige: Photographs of humanitarian aid for European DPs in French-occupied Germany, c. 1945–52
This article explores how photography documenting humanitarian aid in French-occupied Germany was mobilized to enhance France’s image, against the backdrop of increasing anxieties about its international standing. It draws on images found in the archives of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the French occupation zone , which sat between the ‘official’ and the ‘private’. In doing so, it calls for a recognition of the …
Reinventing French Aid: The Politics of Humanitarian Relief in French-Occupied Germany, 1945–1952
Laure Humbert explores how humanitarian aid in occupied Germany was influenced by French politics of national recovery and Cold War rivalries. She examines the everyday encounters between French officials, members of new international organizations, relief workers, defeated Germans and Displaced Persons, who remained in the territory of the French zone prior to their repatriation or emigration. By rendering relief workers and Displaced Persons vi…
Reinventing French Aid: The Politics of Humanitarian Relief in French-Occupied Germany, 1945-1952
Introduction – Beyond de Gaulle and beyond London: The French external resistance and its international networks
The aim of this special issue is to explore the history of the French external Resistance through its international networks. This introduction argues that we should think about the ‘Resistance’ as an international phenomenon, played out in a number of sites across the world, both within and beyond the Free French capital cities of London, Brazzaville – which declared its adhesion to Free France on 28 August 1940 – and (later) Algiers. Our study …
The French in Exile and Post-War International Relief, C. 1941–1945
This article explores Free French responses to Allied planning for post-war international relief in Europe. A number of French experts in exile, often veterans of the League of Nations, advocated international co-operation with the nascent United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). For such figures, participating in the UNRRA could bring critical knowledge, political legitimacy, experience, and funds. They also hoped that th…
French Politics of Relief and International Aid: France, UNRRA and the Rescue of European Displaced Persons in Postwar Germany, 1945–47
This article examines the history of French relief and assistance to Displaced Persons between 1945 and 1947 and the role of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in the French zone of occupation in Germany's South West. For French planners and humanitarian workers, the problem of ‘non repatriable’ DPs was much more than a humanitarian problem and was bound up with issues of domestic reconstruction, policies of occup…

Découverte de vestiges funéraires laténiens à Saint-Ferjeux « La Canotte » (Haute-Saône)
Cet article est une présentation d’une sépulture laténienne à incinération découverte récemment à Saint-Ferjeux (Haute-Saône), au cours d’un diagnostic archéologique. Le dépôt funéraire est constitué entre autres de restes osseux incinérés et d’objets d’accompagnement variés, datant de la fin de La Tène C2, tout début de La Tène D1
La nécropole à incinérations du Néolithique récent des "Canas" à Varennes-Changy (Loiret)
Discovered on the occasion of work prior to the construction of the A77 motorway, the cremation cemetery of "Les Canas " was the subject of a pluridisci- plinary study undertaken directly in the field in good conditions. The general organization of the 13 burials forming it, in three distinct bands of the same length, orientation and spacing, creates an ordered and original entity, previously unknown (architecture in perishable materials ?).
