The Flaming Sword of Industry (Planning for Continuity of Work)

Born in Scotland, Doris Zinkeisen studied at the R.A. Schools, and exhibited at the R.A., R.H.A., R.S.A. and the R.O.I., and the Paris Salon, where she was a Bronze, Silver and Gold medal winner. During the Second World War she served with the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, firstly nursing at St. Mary's Hospital and later through appointment as official war artist to the Brigade. In the latter capacity, as the first civilian woman to do so, Doris entered the infamous Belsen Camp on its liberation by allied troops. Her graphic depiction of the appalling scenes there are now in the Imperial War Museum, London.
