Mystery 'CW' Armlet
Evening all
No, I'm afraid that she certainly wasn't a Wren. I certainly wouldn't put too much faith in what was written on the back of the original photo. We've all seen images with incorrect info on the back.
And I like the way the newspaper report stated that she wore her coastwatchers uniform! They were certainly issued with a nice hat! Unless by uniform they simply mean her badge and armlet.
I was also rather surprised to see that the original image didn't sell on ebay and that there were actually no bids. I did think of bidding myself but thought that, because of its rarity, it would sell for silly money! How wrong can you be!
Pete
