  • WRNS100 Celebrating the Formation of the Women’S Royal Naval Service and Its Influence on Opportunities Forwomen in Today’S Royal Navy
    WRNS100 Celebrating the formation of The Women’s Royal Naval Service and its influence on opportunities forwomen in today’s Royal Navy 2017 1917 W R N S 100 Imperial War Museum Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal Patron of WRNS100 www.royalnavy.mod.uk/wrns100 www.wrns100.co.uk HISTORY In 2017 the Naval Service will celebrate the centenary of the formation of the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS). It will also recognise the supporting role given by the WRNS to the naval service and acknowledge the transition made by women from the separate WRNS into the Royal Navy, and demonstrate the way in which the WRNS helped define the opportunities for women in today’s Royal Navy. The formation of the WRNS came at a fascinating time in our nation’s social history. Prior to the start of the First World War, the Suffragette movement had been lobbying the government for greater powers for women, but it was only as the war progressed that the role of women changed. By 1917 the Royal Navy was faced with a deteriorating manpower situation. The only option was for women to fulfil some of the shore jobs. The Admiralty decided to form a naval organisation for women, under the leadership of Dame Katherine Furse: it became known as the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS). Previously Dame Katherine had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Voluntary Aid Detachments who had provided field nursing services on the Western Front and elsewhere. She was the ideal candidate to become the first Director of the WRNS; her leadership and example quickly set the tone of the new service.

  • Overton in War Time
    1 MEMORIES OF OVERTON Overton in War time Preparation for War The minutes of the Overton Parish Council August 1938 “that 4 Air Raid Wardens were required for Overton… a notice be placed in the Post Office and the Council to choose the Wardens from volunteers” Memory of Den & Gerry Owen "The 1930's, from the point of view of a youngster growing up in Overton, were sheer bliss. The sun seemed to shine endlessly in the summer and the winters were cold with lots of snow. Life rolled peacefully on without the interruptions of television or traffic or even telephones. When war broke out the effect on this idyllic life - even to us as young lads - was traumatic. We looked at the Daily Express every day, which published maps showing the line dividing the German and British positions. Each day the British line seemed to recede until it hit the coast and all was lost - that was Dunkirk. Shortly after that there began to be major changes to the population of the village. The village's male population seemed to dwindle as men were called up, some tragically, never to return. The second difference was a huge increase in the numbers of uniformed people we began to see around the village - there was an RAOC depot at Lightwood Green, Royal Artillery soldiers were billeted at Gwernhaylod House in Argoed Lane and their officers, with their horses, were in the "White Horse" which of course had the stables". "We can remember filling sandbags to barricade the police station windows. All the kids were allocated this task and we went on Frank Lloyd's lorry down to the sand-hole at Home Farm to fill the bags.” In December 1939 the Overton Parish Council minutes report a committee was formed for the comforts of the troops.
