Beatrice Falk

Her premature death working as a volunteer nurse led to a memorial window in York Minster.

[1] In 1896 she married Sir Arthur Levy who was a baronet and a politician with the Liberal Party.

Women were encouraged to volunteer to help the war effort and Falk decided to become a VAD nurse.

The Imperial War Museum has a retouched photo of her[4] as a "titled volunteer" in her nurses uniform noting that she "died in the service of her country".

Her family paid for a memorial window in York Minster and her play "Brown Sugar" was published with the author named as "Lady (Arthur) Lever".
