Women at war... The Women's Auxillary (WAAF) was formed in June 1939. Women took on various roles within the WAAF, from kitchen orderlies and drivers to mechanics and engineers to release men from front-line duties. The jobs taken by women diversified as the war progressed. Women in WAAF took on occupations in telephony, telegraphy and the interception of codes and cyphers, as well as mechanics, engineers, electricians and fitters for aircraft.
