I think she's a WAAC who was previously a member of the WL. Former WL members who transferred to the WAAC were permitted to wear the WL badge on the left breast of their uniforms.

Hoot, Not trying to be ornery, but does the lapel count as wear it on her left chest? Asking only for my education.
Thanks, Terry |

It is a uniform as seen by the WAAC epaulettes. Not a very smart one but that was typical of the times.

Pic #1 is from Burberry catalog. .

Looking at her belt and the size of her non regulation buttons I think it must be the early stages of absorption of the WL by the WAAC with a sort of hybrid uniform, as she definitely has WAAC pattern shoulder straps. A sort of transitional period perhaps.

I notice that on the right arm of this lady there are 5 bars/stripes. Are these rank? or Good conduct?
