Angela Olivia Pery, Countess of Limerick, CH GBE DStJ (née Trotter; 1897–1981) was a leader of the International British Red Cross movements.
Angela Pery, Dowager Countess of Limerick, was born in Folkestone on 27 August 1897 & died on 25 April 1981.
She nursed the wounded of World War One in French and British hospitals after she lied about her age to get accepted.
At the end of the war she continued her education at the London School of Economics where she studied social science and administration.
In 1926 Angela Trotter married Edmund Colquhoun Pery, but she continued to work in the London branch of the British Red Cross Society.
In January 1953 she was appointed a Dame of The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem[7] and in the same year, Pathe News reported on her visit to the Red Cross in Malaya.
She was subsequently made a vice-president of the Society on her retirement in 1976, becoming non-royal to serve in that capacity; her appointment was cleared with Queen Elizabeth.
