EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady Londonderry, later the Marchioness of Londonderry, in her role as President of the Women's War Services Legion (formerly known as the Women's Legion) during World War I. The Hon. Edith Chaplin, as she was then known, is depicted in her uniform, exuding confidence and determination. Established in 1914, the Women's War Services Legion provided essential services to the War Office, with its members serving as military cooks and motor drivers. Lady Londonderry's tireless efforts and dedication to the organization were recognized with the award of the Order of the Dame of the British Empire. Beyond her public persona, Lady Londonderry was known for her love of sport and dogs. In this photograph, she is accompanied by one of her faithful canine companions, a wise-looking creature that seems to share in her steadfast resolve. Lady Londonderry married the Marquess of Londonderry in 1899 and was the mother of a son, Viscount Castlereagh, and three daughters. The photograph, published in The Sketch in 1918, offers a glimpse into the remarkable role women played in the war effort and the enduring spirit of the aristocracy during this pivotal period in history. Lady Londonderry's story is a testament to the courage and resilience of women who answered the call to serve their country in unprecedented ways.
