EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Avice Sackville, Daughter of Lord De La Warr and Sister of the Notorious Lady Idina Wallace, Serving as a Nurse at Lady Lytton's War Hospital (1917) Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, Lady Avice Sackville, the elegant and poised daughter of Lord De La Warr, stood as a beacon of hope and compassion. The Tatler reported that she had left behind her privileged life to serve as a nurse at Lady Lytton's War Hospital. Lady Avice, with her striking features and piercing gaze, is captured in this portrait, her expression radiating a sense of determination and duty. The crisp white uniform she wears, adorned with the insignia of a dedicated nurse, contrasts sharply with her luxurious, pre-war wardrobe. Her hands, delicately folded in her lap, bear no trace of the countless lives she had touched and the countless wounds she had tended to. Lady Avice's decision to join the nursing ranks was a bold one, especially given her high-profile family background. Her brother, the notorious Lord Idina Wallace, was making headlines for his scandalous exploits, while her father, Lord De La Warr, held a prominent position in society. Yet, Lady Avice chose to follow a different path, one that was selfless and dedicated to the welfare of others. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by many women during the war, who put aside their privileged lives to serve their country in the most humble and selfless of ways. Lady Avice Sackville's story is one of courage, compassion, and resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the women who served on the frontlines during the First World War.
