    Two things which strike me: 1. The longing look of the young lady 2nd from right 2. The contrasting expressions of the lads sitting cross-legged A lovely photo.

    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...
