- Brief description:
- Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps Old Comrades Association Gazette, November 1925.
This issue of the publication features a portrait photograph of Dame Florence Simpson DBE on the cover. Better known under the surname from her first marriage, Florence Leach, she first volunteered with the Women’s Legion, rising to Controller of Cooks. She then moved over to the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in 1917 (which became Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1918), eventually serving as its Controller-in-Chief.
The Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps Old Comrades Association was established in December 1919 and Florence became the Association’s President. The first issue of the Gazette was published in July 1920 and was published under this name until 1942, when the Association was renamed as Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps and Auxiliary Territorial Service Comrades Association.
From a collection of papers of Nellie Ellingham who left Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps in March 1919.
