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.
