I've got my Grandmother's 39-45 medal and her discharge book but very little information on her. I know the following; she enlisted 21-10-42 as a Barrage Balloon Operator and trained at RAF Cardington. at some point she remobbed as a telephonist and served at RAF Killadeas, Honeybourne and Milford Haven. she was discharged 23-08-45. There are no photos of her in uniform (not unusual i know) and although I'll be applying for her service records next week, I was wondering if anyone has any other avenues for research. thanks!
well you have started going the right way applying for service records have a look through the below WAAF WRAF RAF(W) Association - About us, our aims WRAF and WAAF Recruitment Posters | Women of the Air Force | Online Exhibitions | Exhibitions & Displays | Research | RAF Museum Women's Royal Air Force personnel - The National Archives regards Clive
Thank you for the reply. i've got a list of about 9 relatives i'll be filling out service papers request forms for next week so hopefully i'll have more than enough information later this year to keep me going! thank you for the pointers
