We note some efforts to help the refugees that we do not fully understand and do not appear to ne describes in internet sites. One of these efforts is Bons de Villes apparently means something along the line of municipal vouchers. Which sounds like funds being given to the refugees which seems to be who the French call 'rapatries'. That means reptriates. Most of the French refugees are people from northern France who fled from the German Army as they invaded Belgium and France. Apparenty they were seen as fter the Western Front stabilized, people reclaimed by the nation. We note the Repatries reclaming vouchers at municipal casinos (city gambing sites). We are not sure why it was done there. French authorities and American Red Cross were on hand to greet and assist the Repatries. Now hopefully some one can help us piece all of this together.
