Women signing up for service in the forces during World War II, Brisbane, October 1942

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Brightly coloured recruitment posters encouraged young women to join up and more than 66,000 of them enlisted in the three services – Army, Navy and Air Force. They made up just under 7% of the nearly 1 million Australians who served. Thousands of young Australian women left home to join the new women’s auxiliary services, the: Royal Australian Naval Nursing Service (RANNS) Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS) Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF) Royal Australian Air Force Nursing Service (RAAFNS) Source: www.ww2places.qld.gov.au/homefront/women-in-the-war
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    More than 24,000 women joined the Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS) after it was founded in 1941 to free up men to join fighting units, marking the first time women were permitted to serve in the military. Women who were British subjects aged between 18 and 40 were eligible to enlist and were paid two-thirds of the equivalent male wage for their service. While it was initially thought women would be confined to roles such as typists and cooks, AWAS members ended up serving in army ordnance, artillery, intelligence and signals corps. They carried out clerical and manual work, maintaining transport and equipment crucial to the war effort and driving everything from cars to amphibious vehicles. In 1945, members of the AWAS became the first women to serve overseas in non-medical roles when a posting of 385 women sailed to New Guinea aboard the MV Duntroon.

    That should read Pinnacle Street, not Pringle.
