EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Viscountess Gladstone, flanked by the Hon. Lilian and Winifred Douglas Pennant, and Miss Poole, are seen working diligently to provide essential supplies for the London Territorial Base Hospitals during the early days of the First World War. Dated 1914, this image captures a poignant moment in history when the aristocracy and high society women rose to the challenge of supporting the war effort in a most unconventional way. The London Territorial Base Hospitals were among the first to be established in the capital, and these ladies were determined to help in any way they could. Viscountess Gladstone, the wife of the Liberal statesman and former Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone, was a prominent figure in British society. Her half-sisters, Lilian and Winifred Douglas Pennant, were also well-known figures, as was Miss Poole. Together, they dedicated their time and energy to creating garments and hospital dressings for the wounded soldiers who would soon be arriving at these hospitals. The women are seen sorting through piles of fabric, likely to be used for making the garments and dressings. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey a sense of purpose and commitment to the cause. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the vital role women played during the First World War, defying societal expectations and contributing to the war effort in ways that were both practical and meaningful. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during a time of great upheaval and adversity. It also highlights the important role that women, even those from the aristocracy and high society, played in supporting the war effort and caring for the wounded soldiers. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a pivotal moment in history, and a reminder of the enduring spirit of service and sacrifice that characterized the First World War.
