THE FORMATION OF THE RHODESIAN WOMEN’S RESERVE in 1970 released many men from administrative and organisational tasks. Two members are shown in this photograph. Women between the ages of 18 and 61 may enlist, and most are fanners’ wives living in isolated areas. Members are trained in radio, map-reading, the use of weapons, and first aid. When the unit was first formed there were so many volunteers that many had to be turned down.
