11lilliceiit, dowager Duchess of Suth-
erland, once known as England's most
beautiful woman, is now called "Eng-
land's bravest- woman." She was one
of the first British 'women to go into
France on nursing duty. Her first
year in the service was spent much of
the time, under• shell fire and _several
fragments of shells ripped her gar-
ments during those bitter days when
British pluck "held on" without suffi-
cient shell protection from its own
forces.
In 1915 she was captured ly the
Germans, being too busy binding` up
the \vouiids of the maimed "Tommies"
in the trenches to bother about re -
'treating when the, Huns took one sec-
tion of the first line. For 'eighteen
months she was detained in Germany
and finally exchanged for a German.
lady whom the English had similarly
captured.
Ater a few weeks' rest at her home
she returned, to the firing line,: ,where'
she is now stationed, actively direct-
ing a section of nurses in one of the
hospitals nearest the fighting line.
