The Bayly Family of Runnymede During World War 1

The lives of the Bayly family at Runnymede during the First World War are revealed through the letters of James, Henry and Harriet Bayly. James embarked with the first detachment from Hobart in 1914, Henry saw the poppies in Flanders field, and Harriet gave her all in the care of the wounded and dying as a VAD nurse in London. This talk will follow their contribution to the war and give an insight into the Bayly women who were left to run the estate. Refreshments served.
