The 2nd issued badge
Women's Forage Corps
Note; A small history of the WFC
There is no mention of the uniform of
administration members,
The uniform of the W.F.C. consists for
industrial members of black boots and gaiters, dark green breeches, khaki overalls, dark green jerseys and dark green hats.
They bear F.C. in brass on their shoulder straps, and the kit is completed by a khaki overcoat and haversack.
The officials wear a khaki tunic and skirt, with badges of rank on the shoulders, dark green hats.
The badge of F.C. is in bronze.
The F.C. of all badges is enclosed in a wreath and the A.S.C. eight-pointed star, (later 1918 to be RASC) and the members are deservedly proud of their link with the Army.
The physical improvement shown by the W.F.C. recruits, most of whom were drawn from the domestic servant class, is surprising.
Rich and poor, the Forage Corps has the satisfaction of knowing that they replaced a man, and that without them the extremely essential work of forage supply, both for the forces at home and the armies overseas, could not have been carried on.
