Harriet Simeon (nee Sandland) served with the WRAF (Women's Royal Air force) after its creation in 1918. By 1919, she had risen to the rank of Deputy Assistant Commandant. Simeon held the Joint Medal of the British Red Cross and St. John for nursing services while she was, toward the end of the Second World War, Deputy-Assistant-Commodore of the Women's Royal Air Force. A nephew of Major Simeon, Rear-Admiral Charles Barrington Simeon, was in command of H.M.S. 'Renown' when it was in action early in the Second World War with the 'Scharnhorst' off the coast of Norway.
