EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of dedication and compassion among the women of high society during the early days of World War I. In October 1914, Countess Zia Wernher (later Lady Zia Wernher) and Countess Nada Torby (later Mountbatten), prominent figures in British society and daughters of Grand Duke Michael, led a group of dedicated women in packing knitted gloves and mittens for soldiers at the height of the war effort. The women, all dressed in elegant attire, are seen intently focused on their task, their faces reflecting a sense of purpose and determination. The woolly garments, piled high on the table before them, would soon be distributed to soldiers in need, providing them with a small but meaningful comfort in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the vital role women played in supporting the war effort during this pivotal moment in history.
