Default WVS Uniforms and Insignia

I have just rediscovered some copies of my book on the uniforms etc of the Women's Voluntary Services published in 2006.

Its 32 pages - samples attached - which record the WVS wartime history and its Civil Defence work postwar, are illustrated with insignia and photos of uniforms being worn. No other work covers these details.

The published price was £9.50 but I am now offering it for £8 inc UK postage.

PM me if interested.

Jon

I have this booklet and find it to be a wealth of information, with great pictures of badges, patches and pins. If you have any interest in he subject it is more than worth the cost.

Is there any documentation of whether the WVS ever operated in Australia?

Apologies to all who asked for a copy. I have been waiting for a supply of envelopes. All should be on their way by the end of the week.

If I have not replied with payment details and a request for a home address please chase me.
