The Great War Centenary - 1917 Further Honours made in 1918 relating to Munition Works in Lancaster Empire Order Honours January 1918 Amongst the local recipients of the Empire Order Honours this week are the following:- Commander – William Joseph Fitzherbert-Brockholes, DL, JP, Chairman,
Lancashire War Agricultural Committee. Miss Helen Maud Bax-Ironside was an early pioneer in the field
for advancing the welfare of women workers in the Lancaster district,
and showed a commanding genius for organisation, and capacity for
getting things when most required. A large experience of social work
among girls enabled her to realise the most fitting provision, and a
whole network of agencies, hostels, and social institutions for their
benefit are the outcome of her activities. * Mary Wilkinson's awarded was actually the Medal of the Order of the British Empire,
so it would appear that the original report of her award was incorrect,
as she did not receive the award of Member of the British
Empire (MBE).
