Christine M Cluley: Lady Dorothie Feilding at War: Right at the Heart and Pulse of Things

Lady Dorothie Mary Evelyn Feilding-Moore MM was a British heiress who became a highly decorated volunteer nurse and ambulance driver on the Western Front during the First World War. She was the first woman to be awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field and also received the Croix de Guerre and the Order of Leopold II.

A local heroine, this account of her life reveals that Lady Dorothie was more than a plaster saint, she was a fully rounded woman, by turns determined, courageous, amusing and acerbic.
