Most of the Eaton Place servants did their bit for the war effort – Edward enlisted, Ruby made ammunition,
Hudson was a special constable and Rose was a clippy on the buses.
Upstairs did their bit too. Shocked by her experience of seeing a hospital train arriving at Charing Cross,
Georgina enrolled as a nurse. Her friend below stairs, Daisy, was always there to listen to her sobering experiences. Georgina
was later transferred to a front-line hospital where, by coincidence, she recognised the badly injured James Bellamy amongst the
casualties.
