Quiz time! When was the largest ever influx of refugees to the UK, and where did they come from? EDIT: They came from Belgium, fleeing the advancing German army in 1914. Britain gave sanctuary and shelter to a quarter of a million refugees, 90% of whom returned home at the end of the First World War. Todays the 100th year anniversary of their arrival - you can read their stories here: bbc.in/1o5S12H Thanks to Jane for the correct answer!
