EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Burghley, a Remarkable Woman of Action: A Portrait of Lady Mary Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Volunteer Ambulance Driver (Front Cover, ILN, 1939) In this evocative image, Lady Burghley, an accomplished athlete and the wife of Lord Burghley, M.P., is captured in her role as a Volunteer Ambulance Driver during the early days of World War II. Dressed in a practical uniform, she dons a tin helmet and a Civilian Duty gas-mask, ready to answer the call to duty. Born in 1906, Lady Burghley was the elder daughter of the Marquess of Exeter and the sister of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. She married Lord Burghley in 1929 and together they raised three daughters: the Hon. Davina Mary, the Hon. Gillian Moyra, and the Hon. Angela Mary Cecil, born in 1931, 1935, and 1938 respectively. The year was 1939, and the 20th century's second global conflict had just begun. As the war effort ramped up, Lady Burghley, like countless other women across the United Kingdom, answered the call to serve her country. Her image, with its powerful symbolism of resilience and determination, encapsulates the spirit of the 1930s and the indomitable nature of the British people during wartime. This photograph, taken by the ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during extraordinary times. It stands as a testament to the courage and fortitude of Lady Burghley and the countless other women who stepped forward to serve their country during the darkest days of the 20th century.
