Cromwell Twin Sisters Leap to Death Off Ship
Two Cromwell sisters Gladys and Dorothea, Red Cross workers from New York, reportedly leaped from a French steamer La Lorraine in the Garonne River. A letter found in their stateroom spoke of ending their lives, as most of their service had been at the front amid shelling and air raids. Their bodies were not recovered and family members questioned the report, citing uncertainty about the voyage and timing. They had shared a long history of charity work and served together at Chalons sur Marne before the armistice.
