Lady Drogheda in her car, 1917
The Countess of Drogheda, born Kathleen Moore Pelham Burn married the 10th Earl of Drogheda in 1909 and divorced him in 1922 to marry Guillemo Delanda a polo player. A keen sportswoman she played tennis at Wimbledon, learnt to fly and worked helping refugees during the First World War. She was by all accounts an indomitable woman of fortitude. Pictured here driving her own car because, like a number of society people, her chauffeur could then be released for service. The Tatler declares that, If more people followed this excellent example, the National Recruiting Scheme might be given a better chance. Date: 1917
