Edith Vane-Tempest-Stewart, Marchioness of Londonderry, 1878-1959
Remembered as a noted society host between the wars, it was her service during the First World War that is expecially memorable. In 1914, after the outbreak of World War I, she was appointed the Colonel-in-Chief of the Women's Volunteer Reserve (WRV), a volunteer force formed of women replacing the men who had left work and gone up to the Front. The WRV was renamed in July 1914 as the The Women's Legion and was considerable in size by the end of the War, comprising tens of thousands of volunteers. Lady Londonderry also aided with the organisation of the Officers' Hospital set up in her house and was the first woman to be appointed to be a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the Military Division upon the Order's establishment in 1917.
