Elsie Knocker
Women's Emergency Corps
In 1914, motorbike fanatics Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm travelled into London to 'do their bit' for the war effort. Volunteering for the Women's Emergency Corps, they were hired as dispatch riders, causing a minor scandal with their trousers (ending above the knee), leather boots and jackets. They beat 200 applicants for a posting to Belgium as ambulance drivers, and soon they were at the front, dodging sniper fire and bombardment to collect the fallen soldiers and to ferry the wounded to field hospitals. As news of their work spread they became known as The Angels of Pervyse.

I know little about George Knott. He had been married for less than a year when he died. He was my Nan's cousin and aged 21 when he was killed. He has no known grave and is commemorated at the Arras Memorial. My Nan's brother Harry Knott was killed while serving with the 3rd Battalion Worcestershire Regt in April 1915 at Messines and her other brother John Knott served with the York & Lancs in France and was invalided out with pneumonia in 1918. All came from Holly Hall, Dudley, then part of Worcestershire. Quite a sacrifice for one family.
