As World War One opened, Germany invaded hitherto-neutral Belgium causing an influx of Belgian refugees. Both Richmond-upon-Thames and Twickenham across the river opened their homes and their hearts to the refugees. For four years between 1914 and 1918, these two communities became a little ’Belgium beyond Belgium’. TUM image id: 1653930971 Licence:	During the First World War, many Belgians came to work and live their lives around the Pelabon Works, Twickenham. Sports clubs, drama groups, orchestra and choir, and shops opened to serve this large, new community.
