Wednesday
5th December 1917: There is an urgent need for women cooks to
enrol in Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps to work in camps both in this country and
in France. Every woman who serves in this capacity will release a fit man to
serve as a combatant. Anyone willing to undertake this patriotic and suitable
duty should apply to the Ministry of Labour.
