    Just checking out the involvement of a Lady in the D Day Landings one who actually landed.
    the info I have
    Margret Joan Chamberlain
    A Third Officer in the WRENS.
    The 4th female to land on the beach.
    She was carrying documents.
    She had a personal bodyguard.
    I have no time scale as to what day she landed.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi redtop

    Did find this article http://www.ddnf.org.uk/memories/e_howes/

    "The Royal Corps of Signals men telephonists all departed to France and life became much quieter until the middle of August when the first Wrens left for France. I was in the advance party of three to leave, to set up communications. The photograph accompanying these memories was in The Evening News at Portsmouth, which said, ‘The first Wrens leave for France"

    Hi Tricky Dicky
    Thanks for that I will pass it on to my Sister who is still active in the Wren's Association and prompted the original question.
