| The USA womens part in WW2 Lets not forget our Army nurses . They seved right up near the front lines. Some were overan and captured on both fronts. Then there were the WACS , WAVES and others that did their share. We owe them a lot. |

the above should have included the medical staff attached to the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force that QARNNS and PMRAFNS hopefully that covers everyone On the question of the correct title of what is now QARANC was Queen Alexandras Imperial Army Nursing Service during WW2 i believe it adopted its new title when it became part of the Regular Army in 1949.
