Description The Eagle hut in Aldwych, WW1
Details

Exterior and interior views of the Eagle Hut in Aldwych, London. The YMCA supplied British servicemen away from home in the UK and overseas with a place to eat, drink, relax, and write letters home. As American troops arrived in large numbers, the organisation committed to supplying a home from home for them in England's capital. Operating from mid-August 1917, the YMCA's Eagle Hut was officially opened on 3 September by US ambassador W.H. Page.
