This photo of three Great War service women was found under the floorboards of an attic
THE earliest women's services in the British Army were predictably the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but the Great War encouraged the formation of a Women's Army Auxiliary Corps which undertook more general military duties.
This photo of three impeccable Great War service women has been supplied by Mrs Ann Newiss, of Haworth. She found the photograph under the floorboards in her attic when moving into her house in Prospect Street, so presumably there must be some local connection. Can any reader throw light on who at least one of them may be?
