On #InternationalWomensDay, I wrote a piece commemorating Avis Waterman, the forgotten war correspondent of The Times. Appointed Milan Correspondent in May 1915, during 1915-17 she was attached to the Italian army & reported about the fighting between Italy & Austria-Hungary in the Trentino and on the Isonzo.
After #WWI she fell into oblivion & died impoverished & lonely in Paris in 1939.
