DORSET County Museum welcomed some special visitors to its A Dorset Woman at War exhibition.
Staff at the Dorchester museum said they were ‘thrilled’ to host visitors from the Embassy of Serbia as they came to view the exhibition. Emilija Marinkov, second secretary of political affairs, press and cultural affairs, was joined by Zvezdana Popovic as they travelled from London to see the display, which runs until November 15 and recognises the remarkable role Dorset woman Mabel Stobart played in Serbia during the First World War.
Museum director Jon Murden said: “We were thrilled to meet Emilija and Zvezdana from the Serbian Embassy.
“Mabel Stobart is still regarded as a heroine in Serbia for the part she played during the First World War, and it’s great that they could come down from London to see the exhibition for themselves.”
