About this image

DescriptionThis photograph includes Dorothy Broad (1889-1976) who is standing wearing a fur coat and gas mask. With her sister Frances, they were involved in fundraising (including theatricals, musicals and quiz evenings) and other wartime activities (such as first aid) on the West Coast of New Zealand. They were excellent craftswomen and made many objects to raise money for the West Coast Wounded Soldiers’ Fund.

Like many New Zealand women, Dorothy had an invested interest in soldiers' wellbeing, with her fiancé, Captain Thomas Wyville Leonard Rutherfurd (1890-1918), being overseas in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (13th Reinforcements).
