CHAPTER XI

THE WOMEN'S ARMY AUXILIARY CORPS


The Waacs is the name we all know them by and shall, it seems,
continue to. It will have to go into future dictionaries beside Anzac.

in its simplicity. The work of the Waacs is the work of support and
substitution and its records only begin to be made.
