Helen Fairchild War Effort Recognized

I met Ivan Newman who visited Poperinge to unveil a plaque dedicated to Helen Fairchild, a US nurse who attended the sick in Belgium and was killed by gas poisoning, aged just 33. Her services have never been fully recognised but her niece, now aged 80, never gave up her efforts and now a beautiful plaque stands in her honour.

Ivan is himself a triathlete. He has been swiming, cycling and running around the world since 1983. His blog Triathlon - touching the Heights tells of his adventures.

Ivan Newman's company Living Inside the Brand is the home of brand and service excellence. Ivan helps clients to ensure fast brand recognition and highlights interesting anecdotes of companies doing this...or not.
