IrishGunner Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 "Worker" in "Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps" A civilian woman's auxiliary which performed support functions like cooks, store keeping, clerical work, telephone and administration, printing, motor vehicle maintenance etc.
Jock Auld Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks for the info, I presume these workers were only on the home front yet still entitled to the medals. Every day is a school day! Cheers jock
IrishGunner Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Jock, actually they served overseas in France.
Jock Auld Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 IG, thanks for that I will have a google. Cheers
Jock Auld Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Have had a look at the national archive and downloaded her medal card seems May only had the pair! 3271.pdf

Ulsterman Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 excellent pair! I love these rear eschelon groups.
Jerry B Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 An interesting group. Medals were only awarded if you served overseas from your own country.
