Lady Muriel Paget, WW1
Lady Muriel Paget (1876 - 1938), nee Finch-Hatton, wife of Sir Richard Surtees Paget, second Baronet of Oldfallings Hall, Wolverhampton. Lady Paget was a humanitarian relief worker, first establishing soup kitchens in the poor districts of London, becoming secretary of the Invalid Kitchens Fund. She then opened a kitchen catering for Belgian refugees in London at the start of the First World War. Her work then extended to Russia and Eastern Europe where she opened field and base hospitals, ambulances and worked indefatigably for the poor and needy both during and after the war - lobbying, training, recruiting social workers and nurses. In 1924 she organised the rescue and relief of stranded Britons in Russia called the British Subjects in Russia Relief Association. Lady Paget had five children, who were cared for by a nanny while their mother worked abroad almost continuously. Date: 1917

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black and white portrait, Lady Muriel Paget (1876-1938), nee Finch-Hatton, is depicted with a determined and compassionate gaze. Dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and necklace, her expressive eyes convey a deep sense of empathy and commitment to her humanitarian work. Lady Paget, the wife of Sir Richard Surtees Paget, second Baronet of Oldfallings Hall, Wolverhampton, was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to serving the poor and needy, particularly during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Before the outbreak of war, Lady Paget had already established a reputation for her charitable work in London, setting up soup kitchens in impoverished districts and becoming the secretary of the Invalid Kitchens Fund. With the onset of war, she opened a kitchen in London to cater for Belgian refugees, marking the beginning of her extensive humanitarian efforts. Her work soon extended to Russia and Eastern Europe, where she established field and base hospitals, ambulances, and tirelessly advocated for the welfare of the less fortunate. In 1924, Lady Paget's humanitarian spirit led her to organize the British Subjects in Russia Relief Association, which aimed to rescue and provide relief to stranded British citizens in Russia. Despite her demanding schedule, Lady Paget ensured that her five children were well cared for by a nanny while she worked abroad almost continuously. This portrait, taken in 1917, captures a pivotal moment in Lady Paget's life, as she dedicated herself to providing relief and support to those affected by the First World War. Her unwavering commitment to humanitarian work, as well as her aristocratic background, make her an intriguing and inspiring figure from history.
