# Moore-Guggisberg, Lillian Decima

Lady Lillian Decima Moore-Guggisberg (11 December 1871-18 February 1964) was an English actress and singer, who, after a successful career on stage, married Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg in 1905. Brigadier-general Guggisberg was appointed Governor of the Gold Coast (Ghana) in 1919. As wife of the Governor, Lady Moore-Guggisberg was named the Honorary Exhibition Commissioner for the Gold Coast at the British Empire Exhibition. In 1925 Lady Decima Moore-Guggisberg transferred to Sir Henry Wellcome a permanent loan of a collection of objects from the Gold Coast pavilion from the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley. As the objects were considered a loan rather than a gift, the Wellcome Trust, as early as 1943, sought the permission of Lady Moore-Guggisberg to disperse the remaining objects from her loan. A portion of the loan had already been destroyed in air raids in 1941.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wellcomecollection.org/collections-information/lQ0fMyP8xr8hWWJiQkfl/transcribe-wellcome/research/people/private-collectors/moore-guggisberg-lillian-decima.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
