EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, published on the front cover of The Sketch magazine in 1915, captures Lady Michelham, formerly Miss Aimee Geraldine Bradshaw, in her role as a dedicated nurse during the First World War. At the outset of the conflict, Lady Michelham, a member of the upper classes, began her humanitarian efforts in Biarritz, providing care for the wounded before relocating to work with the British Expeditionary Force. Lady Michelham's husband, Sir Herbert Stern (later 1st Baron Michelham), had gifted her an ambulance train to support her endeavors in the medical field. The train, equipped with the latest medical facilities, enabled Lady Michelham to provide essential care to soldiers on the move, making a significant impact on their recovery. The photograph showcases Lady Michelham's unwavering commitment to nursing during a time when the world was engulfed in chaos and destruction. Her noble actions defied societal expectations and challenged the traditional roles of women during the war. This powerful image serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of women like Lady Michelham who made a difference in the lives of countless soldiers during the First World War. The Sketch magazine, a prominent publication in British society at the time, highlighted Lady Michelham's inspiring story, bringing attention to the vital role women played in the medical services during the war. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication displayed by individuals during a pivotal moment in history.
