The 1913 Derby

Time to Remember

Available for over a year

In 1913, dramatist St John Ervine was working as a journalist. In this short excerpt from 'Time to Remember', he describes how, while reporting on the Epsom Derby, he witnessed a young woman, in a state of agitation, throw herself under the King's horse. He discovered later that the woman was Emily Davison, who became a martyr for the suffragette movement.
