God gave Gwen foreknowledge of events until she was fourteen years old. She had prophetic dreams several times a year. However, in 1916 her brother Fredrick was killed along with 420,000 other British soldiers in the horrific and ultimately pointless Battle of the Somme. After Freddie’s death, Gwen became angry with God and distanced herself from Him.
