derekb Posted 30 October , 2013 Share Posted 30 October , 2013 Good Evening, Could you tell me if the ladies in this photograph are nurses,members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps or something else? The sign on the building in the background says "Sick Bay" which makes me think WAAC. The rear of the postcard/photo is marked "CARTE POSTALE" do you think it was taken in France. Thanks and regards, Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalredcross Posted 31 October , 2013 Share Posted 31 October , 2013 They are Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps. Their official (officer, with tie) is sitting to the right of the army officer. The woman on his other side appears to be a VAD. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Wilson Posted 14 November , 2013 Share Posted 14 November , 2013 QMAAC not employed as nurses but as clerks, cooks, drivers etc in jobs with the Army which might otherwise have been done by men. See The Long, Long Trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarylW Posted 15 November , 2013 Share Posted 15 November , 2013 What is it? Might be a wild guess but I'd say it was a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
