EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the young daughters of General Douglas Haig and Lady Haig, dressed in miniature Red Cross uniforms, during their involvement in nursing efforts during World War I. The image, dated 1915, shows Alexandra and Victoria Haig, both with bright expressions and rosy cheeks, as they pose with a small kid goat. The Red Cross uniforms, complete with crosses and nursing caps, add a sense of maturity and seriousness to their young appearances. The presence of the goat, a common symbol of the Red Cross, further emphasizes their connection to the organization and its mission. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these children, who were deeply affected by the war that surrounded them, and their role in providing care and support to those in need. The historical significance of this image lies in its depiction of the impact of the war on even the youngest members of society, and the resilience and determination they showed in the face of adversity.
