Women's Auxiliary Service

The Women's Auxiliary Service was a support organization comprised of women volunteers who contributed to military efforts during wartime, particularly in World War I and II. They provided essential services such as administrative assistance, medical support, communication, and logistical tasks to help the armed forces operate efficiently. While not combatants, their work was vital in maintaining the overall war effort, exemplifying how civilians, especially women, played key roles in national defense and humanitarian support during times of conflict.
