@Tees_Issues @AssistNetwork Her childhood home, The Red Barnes, Redcar is currently being converted into flats. Tragic waste. The Blue Plaque on the front says “Friend To The Arabs” 🕊
@MrMatthewOrd @Tees_Issues @AssistNetwork@KeithMi06834142 They knew one another and worked, travelled and potentially had a romantic relationship of sorts. Queen of the Desert is a great book that delves into her life as does Letters From Baghdad.
