WW II War Brides
While I was doing research on Newfoundland War Brides for this site it came to my attention that the roll of the Newfoundland women who enlisted has gone almost unnoticed. Being interested in the roll of women in our history, it only seemed natural to add a roll of honor for these women.
There may be as many as 524 Newfoundland and Labrador servicewomen.
Many thanks to Mary Grant who is a volunteer at the navy archives in Victoria, B.C. who clip newspapers,accession photos and documents. A lot of her information comes from her interest about local Wrens. Mary heard about this site and sent me the information she had gathered and I am now working on it with her to post that information to the best of our abilities to this site.
Newfoundland Women who joined the the English Forces:
WRCNS service numbers begin with W – 1 ; O for officers.
The Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS; popularly and officially known as the Wrens) was the women's branch of the Royal Navy.
Newfoundland Women who joined the the Canadian Forces:

RCAF (WD) 6 figure numbers beginning with a 3.
Service numbers for The Royal Canadian Women's Army Core;
CWAC service numbers begin with the Military District number.
Nursing Sisters are separate again [Florence Nightingale refused to take orders from a military man!] and there are N/S for all 3 services.
