A French soldier from a small village in Normandy, Georges Roy was wounded at the front, losing both arms and his sight, becoming what the French called a "gu**le cassée" (literally, a "broken face"), a term used more broadly for severely disfigured veterans.
Marguerite Lavenue came from the same village but was only an acquaintance before the war. When news of his devastating injuries reached home, she felt moved to do something extraordinary. Rather than see him face a future of isolation and dependency in an era when state support for such wounded veterans was minimal and families often struggled to care for them, she offered to marry him. They wed in Paris in 1917 while the war still raged on the Western Front.

Newspapers at the time covered their wedding as a symbol of sacrifice, devotion, and a different kind of bravery. Marguerite stepping forward to share a life with a man who would forever rely on her for even the simplest tasks. The couple settled down in Normandy after the war.
Accounts suggest that Marguerite dedicated herself fully to her husband's care.

Dr. Kathleen Lynn was a true Irish Hero 🇮🇪☘️

In 1919, a bold and compassionate doctor named Kathleen Lynn opened the doors to Saint Ultan’s Children’s Hospital in Dublin, the first hospital in Ireland run entirely by women, for infants and children.

Born in Mayo in 1874, Kathleen had seen enough suffering to last a lifetime. Instead of turning away, she stepped up. At a time when women weren’t welcomed in the medical world, she became a trailblazing physician and one of the fiercest advocates for public health Ireland has ever known.

At Saint Ultan’s, she fought to reduce the terrifying levels of infant mortality in Dublin’s poorest areas. The hospital became a center for innovation, introducing one of the first childhood vaccination programs in Ireland and leading the fight against tuberculosis in children.

She faced resistance from the Church and the State, but never backed down. Because to her, saving a child’s life was worth any battle.

When she passed away in 1955, Dubliners lined the streets to say goodbye.

Dr. Kathleen Lynn didn’t just treat illness, she healed a nation’s future.

💚 A true Irish hero.
