_________________________________
She appears in the London Gazette on 14 October 1941 in a Women’s Forces list of Emergency Commissions in Auxiliary Territorial Service:
Miss Anne Gertrude King-Fretts (196915)
I presume the number is her army number.
On 17th October 1946 she was again in the London Gazette for:
Decorations Conferred by the President of the Czechoslovak Republic
Military Cross (Not sure if this is a blank heading or a top heading for the following awards)
Meritorious Service medal Class I
Junior Commander (temporary) Anne Gertrude King-Fretts (196915), Auxiliary Territorial Service.

I presume the Lt to Lt-Col Paget Duncan King-Fretts (470096), also in the London Gazette with seven entries, was her nephew. On 16th April 1985 he was Mentioned in Despatches for gallant and distinguished service in Northern Ireland.
There are also a few entries in the London Gazette for H. P. K. Fretts (85714) who became an acting major in 1946 and may well have been her brother.
And Henry Paget had this death notice on the Lasting Tribute web site:
