EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in history as the leading figures of the British Red Cross Society gathered at Devonshire House in August 1914, on the brink of the First World War. Among the esteemed women and men present were Georgina, Countess of Dudley, Queen Amelie of Portugal, Mrs. Goldsmith, Lady Gifford, and Mrs. Ludlow, all dedicated to providing aid and comfort to those affected by the impending conflict. Queen Amelie, a Portuguese exile and a frequent visitor to Britain, was a passionate advocate for the Red Cross and its humanitarian mission. She had already played a significant role in organizing relief efforts during the Boer War and would continue to do so throughout the First World War. Sir Frederick Treves, a renowned British surgeon and a member of the Royal Society, was also present. He had recently gained international fame for his groundbreaking work on the treatment of elephantiasis and was a respected figure in medical circles. As the European powers prepared for war, these leaders of the British Red Cross Society came together to ensure that the organization was ready to provide essential support to the military and civilians affected by the conflict. Their unwavering commitment to humanitarianism and compassion would prove invaluable in the coming years as the world was plunged into the devastating events of the First World War.
