Rotha Lintorn-Orman

Rotha Beryl Lintorn Lintorn-Orman (1895-1935) was the founder of the British Fascisti, the first avowedly fascist movement to appear in British politics.

Born as Rotha Beryl Lintorn Orman in Kensington, London, she was the daughter of Charles Edward Orman, a major from the Essex Regiment, and his wife, Blanch Lintorn, née Simmons. Her maternal grandfather was Field Marshal Sir Lintorn Simmons. The Orman family would adopt the surname of Lintorn-Orman in 1912.

Rotha Orman, with her friend Nesta Maude, was among the few girls who showed up at the 1909 Crystal Palace Scout Rally wanting to be Scouts which led to the foundation of the Girl Guides. In 1908 they had registered as a Scout troop, using their initials rather than forenames. In 1911 she was awarded one of the first of the Girl Guides' Silver Fish Awards.

In the First World War, Lintorn-Orman served as a member of the Women's Volunteer Reserve and with the Scottish Women's Hospital Corps. She was decorated for her contribution at the Great Thessaloniki Fire of 1917 but invalided home with malaria. In 1918 she became head of the British Red Cross Motor School to train drivers in the battlefield. In these early years she developed a strong sense of British nationalism, and became a staunch monarchist and imperialist.
