EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady (Herbert) Davis-Goff of Glenville, Waterford, in her nursing uniform from 1918. At the time, she was working diligently at the Waterford branch of the Irish War Hospital Supply Depot. Before her marriage to Sir Herbert Davis-Goff, she was known as Miss Margaret Aimee Stewart Scott. The Irish War Hospital Supply Depot was an essential organization during the First World War, producing a vast array of bandages and dressings for military hospitals. The depot's efforts were crucial in supporting the wounded soldiers on the front lines. Lady Davis-Goff's image portrays the dedication and resilience of women from the upper classes who contributed significantly to the war effort. Her elegant appearance in uniform contrasts with the seriousness of her role, reflecting the unique blend of societal expectations and patriotic duty during this period. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of women's contributions during the First World War, particularly in the realm of nursing and medical support. It also underscores the transformative impact of the war on the roles and expectations of women in society, as they stepped up to fill critical roles both at home and on the front lines.
