Lady Mayo, Geraldine Sarah Bourke (née Ponsonby), Countess of Mayo (1863-1944), was a committee member in The Royal Dublin Fusiliers' County Kildare Committee. The Committee dealt with parcels for R.D.F. Prisoners of War abroad. Lady Clonbrock, Augusta Caroline Dillon (née Crofton, 1839-1928), wife of Luke Gerald Dillon, 4th Baron Clonbrock, (1834-1917) was one of a number of mainly well-to-do ladies who were members of the Irish Women's Association. Formed in London in the Spring of 1915, the IWA's purpose was to provide food and comforts for prisoners of War belonging to Irish Regiments. Lady Mayo refers to another letter (which has survived), which she has received, and encloses, from the P.O.W. Camp in Berne, Switzerland, concerning an Irish POW. Lady Mayo recalls previous correspondence concerning this individual* and says that, even though he does not belong to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, due to a mix-up, he has been supplied with bread by them. Lady Mayo asks Lady Clonbrock to take over his case. *NLI35795/11/1a which has also survived.
