EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Duchess of Westminster, Constance Edwina Cornwallis-West (later Mrs James Fitzpatrick Lewes), in her Red Cross nursing uniform during World War I. Born into the aristocracy as the eldest daughter of the 5th Earl of Courtown, she was known as Shelagh. When her husband, the 2nd Duke of Westminster, was called to the front lines, Shelagh felt compelled to contribute to the war effort in her own way. She established and ran a Red Cross hospital in the converted casino at Le Touquet, a popular resort town in northern France. The Duchess's commitment to nursing during this time was remarkable, as she not only oversaw the care of wounded soldiers but also ensured that they received essential supplies and comforts. Her hospital became a beacon of hope and healing amidst the chaos and devastation of the war. This portrait, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of a peeress who defied the expectations of her social class and made a profound impact during a time of crisis. The Duchess of Westminster's selflessness and dedication to the welfare of others serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the era and the enduring power of human compassion.
