Constance Babington Smith
Constance Babington Smith MBE Legion of Merit FRSL (15 October 1912 – 31 July 2000) was a journalist and writer, but is probably best known for her wartime work in imagery intelligence.
==Early life==
Babington Smith was the daughter of the senior civil servant Sir Henry Babington Smith. Her mother, born Lady Elizabeth Bruce, was the daughter of the 9th Earl of Elgin, making Constance a granddaughter of a Viceroy of India and a great-great-granddaughter of the man who bought the Elgin Marbles. Constance came from a large family and was the seventh of nine children. Her father died in 1923, when she was ten. By then, her eldest brothers were already adults, whilst her youngest sister was just two years old.
She was educated at home at the family home 'Chinthurst', in Wonersh in England. She finished her education in France and moved to London in adult life.
A trained milliner, she worked for the milliner Aage Thaarup before the war and also ''Vogue'' magazine in London, before venturing into journalism, with ''The Aeroplane'' magazine.
