Tabard at 22 was, with one exception, the oldest member of the team. They both spoke and wrote English perfectly, and they both had perfect poise. Miss Tabard could be glacially polite in the manner of the most cosmopolitan grande dame, and she could be the gum-chewing officer on active service speaking pure, or at least expurgated, GI English, as the occasion demanded. No military inspecting officer, with one unfortunate exception at the end of their stay, ever failed to succumb to their charm and their technique in handling visitors of all kinds.
Miss Portman, because of her relatively advanced age, her English, her ability and force of character, assumed the role of Deputy Director and Supply Officer as well as remaining in charge of what welfare work was done, and Miss Vinot, the Supply Officer, assumed the job of clerk/typist, while the 19 years old Deputy Director, Miss Fustier was completely overshadowed.
Miss Chicoix, alias Mougnot, the nurse, was the oldest and toughest member of the team and she had the hospital staff in a turmoil because of her rudeness until Miss Deville, the UNRRA nurse in charge, evicted her, only permitting her to return later on sufferance.
