RAMC Female Officers
 

There has been an interesting piece on the BBC this week about a 13 year old girl Hazel Hill who helped with some design work on fitting machine guns to Spitfires in 1934.

But there is an accompanying photograph showing her in an Officers Uniform later on where she is wearing a RAMC cap and collar badges, I didn't know there were female Officers in Corps outside the ATS and WRAC?

There is a section in "World War II Allied Nursing Services" By Martin Brayley that covers this.(page 14)

"During the war 150 female doctors served with the RAMC with equal rank and status to male doctors"

"Female medical officers wore ATS officer's uniform with RAMC buttons and collar badges; the ATS cap with RAMC badge, or RAMC coloured field service cap ".

Thank you Mike, you learn something everyday.

Were not female officer's commissioned directly into the RAMC, RADC & RAVC ??
