Felt Cloth Overall Service Badge given by the Land Army Agricultural Section Heavy moth damage. .... 1918 Land Army Christmas Card.
The 1911 National Census shows to girls by this name, one age 5 the other 10. I presume these items belonged to the latter who would have been 16 by 1917. She is shown as living at Bury in Lancashire.
