This photograph captures the essence of joy and triumph as Mrs Jack and Mrs Lionel Harris proudly display their elaborate costumes at the historic Victory Ball, held at the iconic Albert Hall on 27 November 1918. The ball was a grand celebration marking the end of the First World War, an event that brought an end to four long years of conflict and sacrifice. The highlight of the evening was a mesmerizing procession of costumed ladies representing the Allies and symbols of peace. The cream of society graced the event with their presence, donning extravagant attire to honor the occasion. The sold-out ball, with its 4000 tickets, raised significant funds for the Nations Fund for Nurses, a testament to the collective spirit of giving and solidarity.
