EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Lady Furness, nee Ada Daisy Hogg, in her nursing uniform from 1917. At the time, she was the esteemed wife of Marmaduke Furness, 1st Viscount Furness. Amidst the tumult of World War I, Lady Furness demonstrated remarkable philanthropy and dedication by establishing and equipping a hospital for officers in Harrogate, near their residence, Nidd Hall. The hospital boasted an impressive capacity of 206 beds, and Lady Furness played an active role in its administration. Her commitment to the welfare of wounded soldiers was unwavering, reflecting the indomitable spirit of women from the aristocracy and upper classes during this period. Tragically, Lady Furness passed away in 1921 aboard the Furness boat, Sapphire, and was granted a burial at sea, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and service.
