It’s 100 years this week since Dr Elsie Inglis, doctor, pioneer of women’s hospitals and suffragist died.

She didn’t give up and instead the French government took up her offer and set her unit up in Serbia.
Dr Inglis was remembered yesterday in a Westminster Hall debate. Here’s our Christine Jardine’s contribution:
