EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and determination of Miss Winifred Martin-Smith, later known as Mrs. Olaf Hambro, in the year 1917. At the time, Winifred was a renowned and accomplished lady golfer, having made a name for herself in the sport before the outbreak of war. Her brother, Julian Martin-Smith, was also an avid golfer and is believed to be the first civilian volunteer to be killed in the war. Tragically, the martial conflict disrupted the promising golf careers of both siblings. Winifred's marriage to Ronald Olaf Hambro took place in the same year as this portrait was taken. The image showcases her poised and focused expression, embodying the spirit of dedication and perseverance that defined her golfing prowess. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a time when women's golf was gaining popularity and making strides towards recognition in the world of sports. As we admire this image, we are transported back to a historical moment when golf and personal achievements were intertwined with the broader context of war and loss. The portrait of Mrs. Olaf Hambro stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of women in golf, and the enduring impact of family and personal pursuits during times of adversity.
