    The AWAS played an important role in intelligence, signals, ciphers, electrical and mechanical training units, heavy convoy work, anti-aircraft and coastal artillery, gun sights and searchlights. They were cooks, clerks, orderlies, canteen workers, provosts, butchers, instrument repairers, and transport and ambulance drivers. When peace was declared in 1945, these women returned full of confidence with plans for their futures, but they were not wanted in the workforce. Many were required to care for returning servicemen in the confines of the home. Some of their stories were horrendous; coping with a traumatised, sometimes violent partner, without good advice or support. Source: tracesmagazine.com.au/2016/06/women-in-world-war-ii-the-a...

Female munitions worker Rocklea Brisbane

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Rocklea Munitions Works was built in the early 1940s and, according to Brisbane City Council's heritage listing for the site, were some of the "most northerly munitions works constructed in Australia during the Second World War". It was one of the largest construction projects undertaken in Queensland during the war and became increasingly vital to the war effort as the fighting moved to Papua and New Guinea. Due to its importance to the war effort and risk of being targeted, the property had air raid shelters for factory workers, which remain on site. The machining shop in the factory produced cartridge cases for 25-pounder ammunition during the war. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-08/salisbury-rocklea-munition...
