Barbara Edwin Lutyens Nurse Nurses Nursing Barbie
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Barbara Lutyens, also known as 'Barbie,' in her nursing uniform while working at Lady Lytton's War Hospital in 1918. Barbara was the eldest daughter of renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who is best known for designing New Delhi's government buildings and the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. At the time of this image, Barbara was married to Captain David Euan Wallace, whose first wife was Idina Sackville. The First World War (1914-1918) brought about a significant role for women in the workforce, particularly in the medical field. Nurses played a crucial role in caring for the wounded soldiers, and their dedication and selflessness were vital to the war effort. Barbara, with her strong sense of duty and compassion, joined the ranks of these brave women. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by women during wartime. Barbara, an influential figure in her own right, stands proudly in her nursing uniform, embodying the spirit of resilience and determination that characterized the women who served as nurses during the First World War. The photograph, with its historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the social history of the early 20th century and the role of women in nursing during times of war.
