EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Drogheda (Kathleen Moore Pelham Burn), the indomitable Countess of Drogheda, with her young son, Viscount Moore, in the year 1915. Lady Drogheda had made headlines in society circles when she married the 10th Earl of Drogheda in 1909, but her life was far from conventional. After divorcing the Earl in 1922, she went on to marry Guillemo Delanda, a polo player. An accomplished sportswoman in her own right, Lady Drogheda excelled in tennis at Wimbledon and even learned to fly. However, her spirit of generosity and compassion shone brightest during the First World War. The Tatler reported that she had recently been helping Miss Maxine Elliott on her barge at Furnes near the Yser, providing food and clothing for the Belgian refugees. This image, taken in 1915, showcases Lady Drogheda's unwavering strength and dedication to those in need, as she tenderly holds her son's hand. A true testament to her fortitude and resilience, Lady Drogheda's story continues to inspire and captivate generations.
