S.W. July 18. 1916 — My dear Mrs Hunt
Note from Lady Clonbrock to Mrs Hunt thanking her and all their friends for their
kindness, in particular their telegrams in relation to the Clonbrock's recent fiftieth
anniversary.
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.
