First edition of the author's report of her experiences with her ambulance unit in Namur during the First World War. The Duchess of Sutherland's written account is accompanied by photographic plates and facsimiles of the passes that she used to travel to Maubeuge and back to England. After the outbreak of the First World War, Millicent Leveson-Gower (1867-1955), Duchess of Sutherland, left England for France in August 1914, where she set up an ambulance for those injured in the conflict. The ambulance was sent to Namur, in Belgium, which was captured by German forces almost immediately. Thanks to her connections to the English and German Royal Families, the duchess was permitted to return to England; however, the experience had affected her deeply and she immediately began planning her return. Six Weeks at the War was published to raise funds for a new ambulance unit, and she returned to the continent before the end of 1914. She ultimately became the director of a Red Cross Field hospital and remained in post until 1918. For her war work, she was awarded the French Croix de Guerre, the Belgian Red Cross and the British Royal Red Cross. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Octavo. Photographic frontispiece and 11 plates. Original red card wrapper, front cover lettered in black. Spine toned, loss at foot, head of front joint split, wrappers little creased, splash mark to rear cover, couple of pencil marks to contents: a good copy of this fragile publication.
