EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady Alexandra Haig (1907-1997), the eldest daughter of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, as she goes about her duties with the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) during World War II. The image, taken in 1940, shows Lady Haig in a determined and focused expression as she attends a Red Cross demonstration class for nurses in progress. Dressed in a simple white blouse and skirt, with a Red Cross armband on her left sleeve, Lady Haig embodies the spirit of selfless service and dedication that characterized the efforts of countless women during the war. The Voluntary Aid Detachment was an auxiliary organization of the British military, which provided civilian volunteers to supplement the military medical services during times of war. Lady Haig's involvement with the VAD was a natural extension of her family's long history of military service and commitment to public duty. Her father, Douglas Haig, had led the British Expeditionary Force during World War I, and Lady Haig herself had served as a VAD nurse during that conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that women played in the war effort, particularly in the medical services. As men were called away to fight, women stepped up to fill the gaps, taking on roles that had traditionally been the domain of men. Lady Haig's story is a testament to the courage and resilience of women during wartime, and the important contributions they made to the war effort.
