Details

Lady Stradbroke, formerly Helena Fraser and wife of George Rous, 3rd Earl of Stradbroke, pictured in nurse's uniform at the family home of Henham Hall in Suffolk contemplating the bombs dropped by German aircraft in April 1915. The house was converted into a military hospital during the First World War and received convoys of wounded soldiers directly from France, who were passed on to the Red Cross once sufficiently well. Lady Stradbroke took sole charge as matron and efficiently superintended the hospital. Henham Hall was demolished in 1953.
