The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in France, 1917-1921: Women Urgently Wanted

In March 1917, the first women to be enrolled into the British Army joined the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). This book details the establishment of the Corps and subsequently explores the experience of the WAACs who served in France. It follows the women from enrollment to the camps and workplaces overseas, through to their experiences of the Spring Offensive of 1918, the Armistice and demobilization. Throughout the book, the author locates the women in a society at war and examines how they were viewed by the Army, the general public and the press.
