Surprise page
Greetings from The Priory, Shrewsbury, Christmas 1916

Previous "Surprise Pages" have focused on some of Tor's drawings and a letter about press attention.

This time there is a Christmas Greetings card drawn in 1916 by Marga for her mother to send. It shows what various members of her remarkable family were doing in the midst of the First World War.
(with thanks to Crispin Rope and his mother Doreen, family of Michael Rope)

The six children of Agnes Maud are depicted around her, starting at top left and using their names within the family:

Harry: a Catholic Priest, he had just published his first book

Den: a doctor with the army

Michael: with the Royal Naval Air Service

Irene: Red Cross ambulance driver in Serbia

Mon: Sister of Charity, working in the East End of London

Marga: stained glass artist, working from home and presumably helping her mother
