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).
