12.01.2022 80th anniversary of the WRANS The Women’s Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS) was established on this day in 1941 by Florence Violet McKenzie; founder of the... Women’s Emergency Signallers Corps (WESC). McKenzie was the first woman in Australia to graduate in electrical engineering and a lifelong promoter of technical education for women. In July 1938 she joined the Australian Women's Flying Club in Sydney, becoming an instructor in Morse code. She formed the WESC, foreseeing that Australian defence would need wireless telegraphists and signallers. McKenzie campaigned tirelessly for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) to accept her skilled female telegraphists into their services. The RAN was the first to do so, and in April 1941 the first 14 members of the Women's Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS) moved Canberra to begin work at HMAS Harman. These women shared four cottages on the naval base, with one cottage being run by the stewards as their mess. The WRANS were expected to work a full cycle of shifts in the wireless room and to maintain their living quarters, which were out of bounds to the men. Within months these trailblazing women had proved their skill and dedication as workers, and the number of enlisted WRANS grew to 1,000. Over the course of the war, up to 3,000 WRANS served as telegraphists, coders, drivers, cooks and more. The WESC went on to train thousands of servicemen in Morse code, as well as continuing to support the development of these skills in women.

02.01.2022 A great article in The Australian today about our World War 2 veterans and how lucky we are to have around 7800 still with us. It’s important we do all we can ...to hear their stories and at every opportunity say ‘thank you for your service’. What a remarkable generation of Australians they are. They endured the Great Depression, fought for our freedom in WW2 and then helped to build the nation we enjoy today. We live in the greatest nation on the planet, and it’s thanks to people like our WW2 veterans. #TYFYS Read the article here: https://www.theaustralian.com.au//562d04a9b6fabf732ea31dba
