Rachel, Countess of Dudley (née Gurney) was born in 1867 and married the 2nd Earl of Dudley in 1891. After the marriage, the Earl, ‘under the influence of his idealistic wife, surprised his friends by the energy with which he began to attack his public duties’, which included the positions of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1902-1905) and Governor-General of Australia (1908-1911). The Earl and Countess were immortalized in James Joyce’s Ulysses, and the Countess of Dudley’s Polo challenge cup in Australia is still contested in New South Wales. During her period in Ireland Lady Dudley instituted the Lady Dudley Nurses, a body of trained and committed nurses that provided medical care to the communities in the west of Ireland; and then during her period in Australia she set up a similar nursing scheme which became a forerunner to the famous ‘Flying Doctor’ service. Following the outbreak of the Great War she established a special Australian Hospital at Boulogne, which, although fiercely opposed by the War Office, became one of the busiest and most important hospitals on the Western Front. For her services during the Great War she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and awarded the Royal Red Cross. A frequent visitor to Ireland, Lady Dudley drowned whilst swimming off the coast of Connemara on 26 June 1920.

After the war she served at Haslar, Chatham, Malta, and R.N.H. Plymouth. She was discharged to pension on 17 August 1930. Her nursing reports show her as always being assessed as very good, exemplary or above average. She was awarded the Medaille d’Honneur des Epidemies in May 1919 and the medal was forwarded to her on 19 May 1922.
