Comments:I was looking for some books for my mother who was in the AWAS during WWII and stumbled across your website. I have been taking mum to AWAS renunions for a number of years now and thought it would be great to try and organise something for Victoria (EX-WRAAC member- living here) so I am trying to locate the various members of the 100 WRAAC Corp and drivers who took part in training at Watsonia Army Barracks (6 Sig Regiment) and anyone who was at 31 WRAAC Barracks St Kilda Road - 1966-67.

Comments:Hi Patty, Thank you for your invitation to sign your guest book. A great idea. I served from 1951 to 1956 with AHQ Signals Regiment at "Grosvenor", prior to the movement to Watsonia. I still have some wonderful memories of that period of my life and would love to hear from any of the "old girls", guess we are getting a bit thin on the ground now! Still remember my number F3/78 Sgt. Gloria Reynolds!

Comments:I recently stumbled accross your site, and I found it very informative. I do have a specific question however. My grandfathers' RSL sub-branch has recently acquired a WRAAC service dress uniform (skirt and jacket), which they wish to display on a mannequin, and are wondering (1)what colour stockings she ought to be wearing, (2)what colour shirt, and (3)what colour necktie. I presume that the style of shirt/tie would be similar to the current female uniform? Any assistance on this issue would be very greatly appreciated!
