WOMEN FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
The question of training women for active service duties with the Army is now under consideration by the authorities. At the present time a large number of members of the W.W.S.A. are serving as typists, clerks, orderlies/drivers, signallers, and so on, with the armed forces, but this new proposal will take them into the field as crews for predictors, nightfinders, and telescopes. In this way they will still further relieve the large number of men engaged m these duties and make them available for more important service. The uniform, it is understood, will be similar to that of the W.W.S.A. overseas, but with a different insignia. It will be a khaki coat and skirt, with the hat carrying a green band and a fernleaf.
