Exploring the story of the British heroine who died in Brussels in 1915. Presenting the experience of regular visits to Brussels to research the hospitals and homes where Edith worked in her nursing career, as well as the place of her execution - a humbling experience. The talk tells her story supported by photographs of existing artefacts of her life. "Her story needed to be told and you told it!" - Hythe Civic Society.
I have been delighted by the comments of members of Edith’s family and relatives of the key players who have attended the talk.

About Melanie Gibson-Barton

I am a full-time speaker with 10+ years experience and give talks in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I have the pleasure of regular repeat bookings.
I charge a competitive, fully inclusive fee - I do not charge per mile - and I bring all my own equipment - including a screen and a natty sound system - so your audience will hear my talks. I currently offer seventeen talks and several of these talks were originally commissioned by groups, such as The Canterbury Cathedral Friends Society. As well as venue talks throughout the South East - and beyond! - I can also provide my talks via my own Pro-Zoom, nationally and internationally. You can book me with confidence that I will provide your audience with a professional, informative and entertaining presentation, accompanied by colourful powerpoint slides. I bring all my own equipment for venue talks - I'm entirely self-sufficient! - so you can sit back and relax. Please find here just a few of my currently seventeen talks.
