    Searching for Ex-serving 'WRENS'

    Wednesday, 3 March 2021 13:03

    Mandy Whitham is compiling a searchable accessible archive of Divisional Class photos of ladies who joined the WRENS between 1947 and 1981.

    Currently there's a shortage of loads of Divisional pictures from when servicewomen joined at HMS Dauntless in Reading.
       
    During lockdown, the archive has become a place of memories, finding old friends and adding photos of adventures! If you, or your mother or indeed grandmother were in the Wrens Mandy would love to hear from you. Here are her contact details:
