Default WRCNS photo album

WRNS Superintendent Carpenter, loaned to the RCN in mid 1942 to head up the formation of the WRCNS:



Chief Officer Samuels was also loaned by the WRNS to assist in the formation & training of the early classes of WRCNS, in this photo she was Officer In Command of HMCS Conestoga at Galt Ontario:



2nd Officer Isabel MacNeill - she was in the first class of WRCNS trained at Kingsmill House in Ottawa, subsequently commissioned, she was Training Officer at HMCS Conestoga. Joan Gilchrist here refers to her rank as Lieut Commander, in fact at this time(Mar'43) she would still have been a 2nd Officer. The WRCNS adopted the RCN ranks in June 1943.
