While digging around I spotted an interesting story about a "munitionette".

Rose Edwards left Guernsey to work as a “Munitionette” at Woolwich Arsenal. In early February 1917 in icy weather she was walking home with a group of workers across one of London’s bridges when two girls slipped and fell. One girl broke her hip, the other her leg. Miss Edwards stayed with them until an ambulance arrived but caught a chill from which she died on the 13th of February. She was buried in Plumstead cemetery in London.

Here grave had fallen into disrepair and a researcher arranged for its renovation. At the foot of the grave , on the marble surround/edging was an engraved 1916 OWS badge.
