EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady Iris Mary Athenais de Vere Capell (1895-1977), the elder daughter of George Devereaux De Vere Capell, 7th Earl of Essex and his American wife, Adela Beach Grant, in her nursing uniform at Watford Hospital in 1914. Lady Iris, who came out as a debutante in 1913 and attended Oxford University, is an intriguing example of the aristocracy's response to the call of duty during the early days of World War I. As the Great War raged on the front lines, many members of the British aristocracy felt a deep sense of responsibility to contribute to the war effort in any way they could. For some, this meant serving as nurses at hospitals near the home front. Lady Iris, with her education and privileged background, was no exception. The photograph shows Lady Iris standing confidently and resolutely in her nursing uniform, her expression serious and determined. Her uniform, adorned with the distinctive red cross, signifies her commitment to caring for the wounded soldiers who would soon arrive at the hospital. Lady Iris's decision to become a nurse was not an isolated incident. Many aristocratic women, including members of the royal family, followed suit, demonstrating their patriotism and their willingness to put aside their privileged lives in the service of their country. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the aristocracy during the First World War, as well as the important role that women played in the war effort. Lady Iris's story is a testament to the enduring spirit of service and dedication that characterized the British people during this tumultuous period in history.
