Tiny & Cissy Lady Clonbrock
10 Cadogan Gdns
This telegram was sent by 'Tiny' and 'Cissie' to congratulate Augusta Lady Clonbrock
(1840-1928), and her husband, Luke Gerald Dillon (1834-1917), 4th Baron Clonbrock,
on their golden wedding anniversary in July 1916.
Augusta Caroline Dillon (née Crofton) was the wife of Luke Gerald Dillon (1834-1917),
the 4th Baron of Clonbrock, Co. Galway and the daughter of Lord Crofton of Mote Park
(Edward Henry Churchill Crofton, 3rd Baron), Co. Roscommon. Aged 75 at the outbreak
of war, Lady Clonbrock, worked closely with the Irish Women's Association to send
basic necessities to Irish POWs. Many of her care packages went to members of the
Connaught Rangers imprisoned in Limburg near Cologne.
