Elizabeth Emma Osmond . Womans Land Army My Grandmother, Betty Osmond, was a very proud member of the Land Army. She moved to South Africa many years ago but has often spoken many tales of her time in the Women's Land Army. Often remembering many facts and names from her past.
Some of the information I have available is as follows:
CMJD 70 3 Osmond E.E, Headquarters in Guildford, Surrey
In service with the Land Army, Surrey & Sussex, for approximately 4-5 years.
Prior to the WLA Elizabeth was running a tea shop in the Warlingham Park Hospital for people suffering nervous complaints under Doctor Rees who was also later decorated for his work during the 2nd World War. Her married name is now Elizabeth Simpson. It would be wonderful to reconnect her with any old friends.
