Women's Police and the Waac

[riffrandell]

Hello,

I'm currently researching the Women's Police and the Waac and wondered if anybody could help me with regards to primary sources. I'm going to go to the archives but know that there were lots of memoirs published which I would be interested in finding.

So far I have:

A.B. Baker 'The Story of a W.a.a.c'

J.Tennyson The Sword of Deborah: First-Hand Impressions of the British Women’s Army in France

Mary Allen's book

M.L. Tyler ' The Army's appeal to the women of England'

Any suggestions?!

Thanks x

There is a book published in 1930 Anonymously,By T.Werner Laurie Ltd;

"WAAC The Woman's Story Of The War" ~ Anonymous.

if you can find a copy{British Library}

& not to forget the WW1 Joke::"What would you prefer a Smack on the Nose Or A WAAC on the Knee!?"

Have you also thought about oral history? You could try the IWM online catalogue.

You may find the biography of Dame Helen Gwynne-Vaughan useful. A HEROINE IN HER TIME, by Mollie Izzard. Also her autobiography SERVICE WITH THE ARMY.

the WRAC Old Comrades also published a short history of QMAAC by JM Cowper some time in the 1980s.
