Women in British Navy Surge in Service Says Wrens Rise
London reports growing female enlistment in England with girls as young as 16 taking clerical roles and training for navy tasks. The Wrens, like the Waacs, take on land duties initially, with potential shipboard work, excelling at submarine net-making, while stationed coastward in Wrens and Boy Scouts groups.
