EDITORS COMMENTS
Millicent Fanny Sutherland-Leveson Gower, Duchess of Sutherland (1867-1955), graced the cover of Tatler magazine in 1916, making headlines not for her aristocratic status, but for her selfless work as a nurse with the Red Cross during World War I. The Duchess, who was then married to Lieutenant-Colonel P. D. Fitzgerald of the 11th Hussars, had been a widow since the death of the 4th Duke of Sutherland in 1913. A prominent figure in society circles, Millicent was also known for her social reform efforts. However, the outbreak of war compelled her to put aside her aristocratic duties and devote herself to the care of wounded soldiers. Dressed in her Red Cross uniform, the Duchess exuded a sense of determination and compassion on the cover of Tatler, inspiring the nation with her unwavering commitment to service. The image of Millicent Fanny Sutherland-Leveson Gower, the aristocrat turned nurse, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by women during the Great War. This portrait, taken in 1916, captures a moment in history when the boundaries between social classes were blurred, and the call to serve transcended titles and privileges. The Duchess's courage and dedication continue to resonate with us today, making this a significant and powerful historical image.
