sweetcomfort   10 #28 Posted March 8, 2018 Hiya, I was in the WRAC W/407679. I joined in Sheffield in 1958, went to Guilford and then onto Yeovil in Somerset doing driver training. I passed my test on a 1ton commer and then was posted to Woolwich hospital. Used to collect injured Army lads from airports and bring them in to the hospital, a lot were from Cyprus. In 1959 I got a compassionate posting nearer home because my Mum was quite ill, it was to to Imphal Barracks in York. while I was there I took a more advanced driving course and found I was the only female along side 11 lads. At the end of the course, which involved driving much bigger stuff etc we had an exam and the result was my pride and joy, I came 2nd out of the whole class!! Bragging now! In 1960 I had a compassionate discharge to look after my Mum as I was the only girl (3 brothers!) ugh. I had signed on for 22 years, just loved it.
