Women and the QMAAC

[Tony]

Hello,

Can anyone help me out with this ID bracelet? I can't find the MIC or any record for 44269 F Collins QMAAC, in fact, I also did a search for just QMAAC on ancestry and drew a blank except for one single lady named BH Grieve.

There's a Freda Collins from Chelsea here but no confirmation of it being 44269 F Collins.

I'm assuming she was sent overseas and was awarded at least a BWM because of 'BEF' being on the tag, if so, what might she have done, been driver like Bob in Blackadder? Working in a hospital? A mechanic? Welder? Worked in a cookhouse?

Did members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, later Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps receive any medals for their service?

Does anyone have WAAC/QMAAC photos they can post?

Thanks

Tony

A search on the National Archives shows 13,485 MiCs to the QMAAC and they were certainly awarded the BWM/VM
