EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Sprott, a remarkable woman of Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh, defied societal norms and made an indelible mark on history as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I. In this evocative photograph, Mrs Sprott, daughter of Sir George and Lady Berry, dons her uniform with unwavering pride and determination. Her husband, a soldier in the esteemed Cameron Highlanders, and her father, a major in the Royal Army Medical Corps and honorary surgical oculist to King George V, were no strangers to the military world. Yet, it was Mrs Sprott who bravely took on the role of a driver, joining the ranks of the Red Cross ambulance corps in France. The year was 1917, a time when women's roles were confined to the domestic sphere. However, Mrs Sprott and countless others challenged these limitations, contributing significantly to the war effort. As she maneuvered her ambulance through the battlefields of France, she provided essential medical assistance to the wounded soldiers, often under the most harrowing conditions. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and courage of women like Mrs Sprott, who defied expectations and played pivotal roles in the Great War. Their contributions, though often overlooked, were instrumental in shaping the course of history. Mrs Sprott's story is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can prevail, and that the boundaries of what is possible are constantly being redefined.
