Liege On The Line Of March is a memoir written by Glenna Lindsley Bigelow, an American girl who witnessed the German invasion of Belgium during World War I. The book was originally published in 1918 and provides a first-hand account of the atrocities committed by the German army as they marched through Belgium. In the book, Bigelow describes her experiences in Liege, a city in eastern Belgium that was a strategic location for the German army. She witnessed the destruction of buildings, the displacement of civilians, and the brutal treatment of prisoners of war. She also describes the kindness of Belgian citizens who helped her and other foreigners during the invasion.
