- Summary
- NoS Summary - WRAC officer cadets train at the Women’s Royal Army Corps school of Instruction in Liphook, Hampshire.
- Researcher Comments
- Commentary: New uniforms are very much uppermost in the minds of the WRAC officer cadets who train down in Hampshire. In smart green tunics, these girls are taught to carry out efficiently jobs which men alone were allowed to do in the last war. In today’s Army, a woman officer must not only be smart and alert, she must be expert in many technical fields, too. And there’s emphasis on the social side, with lectures on make-up, dancing, and entertaining. If the Army of today’s all right - a lot of the credit’s due to the girls in green.
