She was born in Melbourne, and was a daughter of the late Mr. Augustus Hallifax, of King's College, Oxford. Having come to South Australia to reside she became identified with educational pursuits and she and her

During the war she was treasurer of the London Soldiers and Sailors' Institute, and secretary of the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital at Le Touquet. She later conducted important investigations in plastic surgery. She was decorated three times for her Empire services and also received honors from the Governments of France and Italy. She was a life member of the Italian Red Cross Society. In the past 20 years she travelled extensively and lived altogether in 66 different countries.
