R N T S FOR THE FLORY OF GOD AND GOOD OF THE SERVICE RNTS, Circle within shield, anchors on marquee above. Dame Agnes Elizabeth Weston, GBE (26 March 1840 - 23 October 1918), also known as Aggie Weston, was an English philanthropist noted for her work with the Royal Navy. For over twenty years, she lived and worked among the sailors of the Royal Navy. The result of her powerful influence is evidenced in the widespread reform which took place in the habits of hundreds of men to whom her name was a talisman for good. In her day, one man out of every six in the navy was a total abstainer. Weston's work included her monthly letters to sailors, "Ashore and Afloat", which she edited, and the "Sailors' Rests", which she established in Portsmouth. She was the first woman ever given a full ceremonial Royal Navy funeral. Weston was born on 26 March 1840 in London, the daughter of a barrister.
In 1851 she, her mother and siblings were living in Weston, Bath. In 1868, she took up hospital visiting and parish work in Bath, and through beginning a correspondence with a seaman who asked her to write to him, developed into the devoted friend of sailors, superintendent of the Royal Naval Temperance Society, and co-founder (with Sophia Wintz) of three Royal Sailors' Rests (two in Plymouth and one in Portsmouth), or clubs for sailors, by the start of the First World War. She published a monthly magazine. My Life Among the Bluejackets. Weston served as Superintendent of Work among Sailors for the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and was the President of the Plymouth Branch of the National British Women's Temperance Association.
