Angela Manners

Angela Margaret Manners, RRC - Second Class, (15 June 1889 – 1 February 1970), was a member of the British aristocracy.

During the First World War she worked on the Manners Ambulance, and was matron of Avon Tyrell Convalescent home for New Zealand Officers, Sopley, Hampshire.

Manners undertook three months nurse training as a paying probationer at The London Hospital from February 1914 under matron Eva Luckes.

Described as a "Red Cross Heroine" Manners and Nellie Hozier (Winston Churchill's sister in law) were among the first 'Society girls' who rushed off to Belgium at the outbreak of the First World War.

[3] Initially the Germans allowed them to remain and nurse the injured British prisoners of war, but shortly afterward they were arrested and inprisoned, where they were given 'bread and water'.
