Rose Elizabeth Horner

Land Army

from:East London

Miss Rose Horner, 94 in January 2008, was the lifetime companion of my Great Aunt Anne Yenuzaites who sadly died a few years ago. Auntie Rose and Auntie Annie, as I knew them as a child, served in the Land Army together somewhere in Essex. I don't know the exact dates and Rose can't remember them now (or where they worked). I asked her if she would like to apply for the medal but she doesn't want to, saying there's no point as she "Doesn't go out anymore." She has some funny tales about lack of food (mean farmers wives), declining to go to dances with US servicemen so that they could use the bathroom while the other girls were out(!), and sneaking away because they couldn't take it any more. I have a photograph of them in a group of landgirls but it is small so probably won't scan very well. If you would like to see it, let me know.
