I am a visitor to your group.
I have a very large private collection of studio portraits. I have portrait of just about every women's uniformed group but do not recognise this one. (She is not a relative)
The portrait by a Birmingham photographer shows a woman in uniform. She has a crowned badge on her lapel but it has been caught by the light. A crowned badge is usually a symbol of authority. Her buttons are plain.
Her hat badge HMF has me puzzled sometimes I think His Majesties F>something other times I think H>something Munitions Factory ?
I read the reverse pencil writing possibly as: Aunty F Lovell ? and the Address on the right as Possibly “Lynton” 7 , Green St , Smethwick.
I consider myself pretty good on the subject of WW1 photos but this has me baffled.
I suspect she may be a few things but I lack Birmingham knowledge.
To my eternal shame, I have only been to Birmingham once (in 1964).
It needs Birmingham History Forum to solve this one.
