EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Zena Dare, the renowned English actress, in her nursing uniform during her service in France during the First World War. Born as Florence Hariette Zena Dones, she rose to fame on the stage alongside her sister, Phyllis, becoming one of the most popular actresses of the early 20th century. In 1911, Zena married the Hon. Maurice Brett, the second son of Viscount Esher, and retired from her acting career. The First World War brought about a new role for Zena, as she felt compelled to contribute to the war effort. In this photograph, she is seen in her nurse's uniform, displaying a sense of determination and dedication. The image is a poignant reminder of the many women who answered the call to serve during this time, using their skills and resources to support the war effort in various ways. Zena Dare's transition from the stage to the battlefield is a testament to the versatility and resilience of the women of her generation. This photograph, taken in 1917, stands as a historical record of her service and the sacrifices made by women during the First World War.
