Description
British War Medal 1914-20 (P. Lovell F.A.N.Y.C.) nearly extremely fine £120-£160 --- Phyllis Lovell was born in 1885 and founded the Home Service Corps in Liverpool in September 1914, to ensure that women in Liverpool were given the opportunity to replace men on the Home Front, thus releasing the men for Active Service. It was a uniformed, paramilitary organisation whose twin aims were to help the war effort whilst furthering the cause of women’s suffrage. Subsequently joining Birkenhead Police, she rose to the rank of Sergeant, reputedly the only women in the country to hold that rank, before joining the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, serving on the Western Front from January 1918. She died in London in 1972. Sold with copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient.
