Peter Prangley (grandson): In 1944 Constance was made a SSStJ (now MStJ) and at the end of WW2 she received a commendation certificate from the British Red Cross and St John's Joint Committee in gratitude for 'services rendered to humanity'. At some time she became a farmer at Pabaraka, North Kinankop (where she grew pyrethrum and possibly raised beef cattle).
