EDITORS COMMENTS
Decima Moore, née Lilian Decima, Lady Moore-Guggisberg, CBE (11 December 1871 - 18 February 1964), was a renowned English singer and actress, celebrated for her soprano roles with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and her performances in musical comedies. However, her contributions to history extend far beyond the stage. During World War I, Moore founded the Women's Emergency Corps, an organization that mobilized women volunteers to provide essential services and support for the war effort. She also established several leave clubs, acting as the director general of the British Navy, Army and Air Force Leave Club in Paris. After the armistice, she continued her humanitarian efforts by organizing a club for the army of occupation in Cologne. In 1918, Moore was recognized for her services with a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) award, as well as the overseas medal and the Médaille militaire de reconnaissance. This evocative portrait captures Moore in 1919, reflecting her unwavering dedication and resilience during a time of great upheaval and change. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role women played during the First World War and the enduring impact of their contributions.
