Additional information

Quakers have played a crucial role in relief work since the mid-nineteenth

century, and can be considered as the first modern relief agency. Nevertheless, their role in the provision of relief refugees and displaced

persons has been marginalised. Yet in this article we argue that the Friends

Relief Service provided a very distinctive, humanitarian relief service in the

years 1945-48, a service which stands in stark contrast to the highly

professionalised model being pioneered by the United Nations Relief and

Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA).
