This photo was dted 1939, she was in the church army, but not sure whcih department or organisation she was in for sure?
My maiden Aunt Winifred Cambridge (who died at 99 2003) was a bit strict when I was little (weren’t all Aunties in the 1940/50s?). In her last trip to the UK in 1992 when 88 from Canada where she went in 1952 as a Sunday School Missionary! In a trip around Gloucester where she was born and brought up she told me, pointing at St Aldate’s Church, that’s where I saw the light. She gave the rest of her life to good Christian works!
This included volunteering at the out break of war. She did moral welfare work, she was sent to Liverpool! She commented Liverpool was hard but it wasn‘t so bad, but she didn’t like the Bombs very much.
She was like many others a very special person!
The photos show her in a uniform in 1939!
