Chief Officer Dorothy Isherwood was one of the first WRNS Officers to be attached to the RCN for the formation & training of the newly formed WRCNS in Aug 1942. In March 1943 she was appointed Director of the WRCNS. She was advanced at that time to Superintendent WRNS which equated to the RCN rank of Captain. In this photo Joan has captioned her as Captain as the WRCNS were in the process of changing over to RCN ranks which took place formally in June 1943.
