"As long as the Serbians fight, we'll stick to them," Dr Elsie Inglis wrote in her uncensored letter to the Scottish Women's Hospitals Committee in autumn 1916. Lady Paget hoped that Serbs would not forget her, nothing else mattered to her. Mabel Stobart, Lady Hutton, Flora Sandes, Katharine MacPhail, Evelina Haverfield and hundreds of women – Scottish, English, Welsh, Canadian, American and Australian - risked their lives in Serbia during the First World War and after, shared the pain and horrors of the war with the Serbian army and civilians, and loved Serbs, loved being there and being able to help "little gallant Serbia".

The Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh Foundation is organising a two-day conference to mark the centenary of his birth. The conference will be held on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of November 2014 at King's College London. Metropolitan Anthony's influence as a spiritual leader in Britain spread far beyond his own Orthodox Church to the wider Christian community, and the Foundation is hoping to reach some of the many people who knew him as well as those who would like to find out about his uplifting thought and faith. You can download the conference leaflet and application form.

"We cannot allow women like Mabel Stobart to be forgotten. Her story of thrilling endeavour, bravery and service has never been more important for a generation of girls who often feel judged more on their looks than character. Through this grant we pay our respects to this remarkable Dorset woman and hope her spirit will spur others on to great things." Culture Secretary Maria Miller, leader of the Government First World War Centenary programme.
