According to comments made by Rose Conlon Fuller in the 1970s, Catherine Propsom had her right hand and forearm crushed in a wringer when she was about 7 or 8 years old. In later life she elected to have that portion of her arm removed. In this photo Catherine appears to be covering/supporting that hand.
