Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Women's Auxiliary Army Corps members, France, during World War I. This photograph, thought to be by Tom Aitken, shows four Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) members enjoying a swim on a beach in France. The WAAC was a voluntary service started in January 1917 when the loss of life among the men in the army was so great that women were needed for non-military roles.

WAAC women served in both Britain and France. The newspapers liked to suggest that the WAACs in France were immoral and often becoming pregnant, but an investigation showed this to be largely unfounded rumour.
