Edwina was married to Lord Louis Mountbatten and was one of the wealthiest women in Britain. She had a very hard start to life but once she moved to London she was the darling of the social set. World War ll put an end to all that and she became one of the hardest working women of her age. Listen to how she changed her life around and helped to save thousands of people who would not have survived if it had not been for her. Sadly she died young but led an amazing life.

This talk will be preceded by our AGM, which will last abour 15 minutes.
