SOME SITES WORTH SEEING:

WOMEN'S (LATER QUEEN MARY'S) ARMY AUXILIARY CORPS (1917-1920)
You can now search (free) and download the service records of more than
7,000 women who joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (1917-1918),
later Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps (1918-1920). It was renamed the
Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps (QMAAC) in April 1918. And when the
Royal Air Force (RAF) was created in 1918 a number of WAAC volunteers
entered the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF). The Queen Mary's Army
Auxiliary Corps disbanded in September 1921.

While more than 57,000 women served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps
between 1917 and 1920, an air raid in 1940 destroyed many of their
service records but some have survived. You can now search these
surviving records online for the first time.
