Women's Royal Army Corps

The Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) was a branch of the British Army established in 1949 to serve women personnel. It provided support roles such as administration, communications, logistics, and medical services. Women in WRAC were part of the military structure but typically did not engage in combat. The corps aimed to integrate women into the armed forces, promoting gender equality in military service. In 1992, WRAC was disbanded, and its members were integrated into the regular Army branches, reflecting changing attitudes toward women's roles in the military.
