Miss Flora Petersen: A Unique War Heroine - A Portrait of Compassion and Devotion in the Heart of Battle Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a remarkable woman named Miss Flora Petersen emerged as a beacon of hope and comfort for the weary soldiers of Boulogne. Miss Petersen, who was the beloved sister of the esteemed Countess of Wilton, dedicated her time and energy to nursing the wounded during the Great War before transitioning to canteen work. In this evocative portrait, taken in 1917, Miss Petersen is captured in a moment of respite, her kind eyes softened by the gentle gaze of her perky little pet dog. The image, which has been preserved in the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a poignant glimpse into the life of this extraordinary woman. The Tatler reported that Miss Petersen's unwavering dedication to the welfare of the soldiers was a source of inspiration for all who encountered her.
