MISS SONIA KEPPEL The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a medieval gown of silver brocaded velvet with long Florentine sleeves, the hem of the dress almost touching the ground. Her tulle veil was held by a wreath of silver leaves, and she carried a bouquet of Madonna lilies and wore a pearl necklace, the gift of her mother. Her six bridesmaids - Miss Molly Calvert, Miss Cynthia Burns, the Hon. Cecilia Keppel, daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Bury, the Hon. Diana Allsopp, daughter of Lord and Lady Hindlip, Miss Sarah Winston Churchill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winston Churchill, and Miss Rosemary Peto - wore white Columbine silk tulle dresses, garlanded with white roses, |
and bodices cut low in early Victorian style.
They carried bouquets of white camellias and rosemary.
The two pages - Master Hereward Wake, son of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Hereward and Lady Wake, and Master John Fane, son of Captain and the Hon. Mrs. Henry Fane - wore Kate Greenaway white silk suits.
During the signing of the register they distributed favours of rosemary and white heather. Cannon Edward Chichester, vicar of Dorking, officiated, assisted by the Rev. D. F. Carey, Chaplain to the Brigade of Guards. Mr. Jock Gilmour was best man. All the decorations in the church and at 16 Grosvenor Street, where the reception was held, were carried out by Mr. Douglas Hope, late the Scots Guards, a nephew of the Hon. Mrs. George Keppel, who lost his eyesight in the war. The alter was massed with lilies and the chancel rails decorated with white chrysanthemums and orange trees. The first part of the honeymoon will be spent at the Old Manor House, Hove, lent by the Hon. Sir Sidney Greville, and the latter part at Lord Ashcombe's villa in the south of France. |

The death of Lady Ashcombe must be deeply regretted by all her numerous friends and acquaintances. Many knew her as an intrepid rider to hounds, and some as a brilliant golfer. To the writer of this letter and to many others, however, she will be remembered as Idy Mills, the kind, gay, and gentle head of the Channel Islands Section of the British Red Cross Foreign Relations department, where she worked indefatigably from 1939 to 1946. From the day after the news reached London of the German occupation of the Channel Islands until the armistice and the numerous refugees had safely regained touch with their homes, Idy Mills organized the dispatch of thousands of Red Cross inquiries from friends and relations of the Channel Islanders. Her section, made up largely of her personal friends, was responsible not only for inquiries but also for the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of Red Cross postal messages. | These were, for the years of the occupation, literally the only means of communication between the islands and the outside world. When many of the islanders - men, women, and even families - were deported to internment camps in Germany their messages followed them, and Red Cross inquiries as to their health and needs reached them. Parcels of food and clothing were dispatched through the Prisoners of War Department and reached the camps owing to the collaboration of the International Committee of the Red Cross and of the German Red Cross Society. For all this work Idy Mills and her hard working helpers were ultimately responsible. It is in this capacity as the head of the Channel Islands Section, as a gay companion, and as an always helpful colleague that her friends in the British Red Cross Society and Order of St. John will remember her with love and gratitude. |
