Women's Royal Army Corps - Ammunition Technician
I have just read an assertion on line that no individual in the Women’s Royal Army Corps (WRAC) ever qualified as an Ammunition Technician prior to 1992 when all WRAC personnel were integrated into other regiments and corps.
The 'A in Flames' badge (Edwards and Langley 118A) was introduced in 1950 for Ammunition Technician / Assistant Ammunition Examiner. The 'A in Flames' badge exists in WRAC colours of green on beech brown presumably designed for wear on WRAC Lovat No2 dress worn from the early 1960s. There is also a gold wire on beech brown version for WRAC No1 dress. It is possible that WRAC personnel were employed as Assistant Ammunition Examiners - hence the badges were produced. My questions for the Forum are: Can anyone confirm the WRAC Assistant Ammunition Examiner theory? Were there (ever) any WRAC qualified Ammunition Technicians? Any photographic evidence of the 'A in Flames' badge in wear by WRAC? Tim
