Group Photograph of Officers of the Women's Royal Navel Service (WRINS).

Photo's above presented to The Nautical Club by
Committee member Mrs D M Downes
(ex P.O. WRIN D M Thornton). The WRINS came under
the umbrella of the Women's Auxilary Corps (India)
(WAC(I) which was formed early in World War II
to assist British Armed Forces in India, India being a
British colony, enlistment was voluntary &
personnel were multi-racial. The WAC(I)s and WRINS
disbanded on the cessation of hostilities and the
withdrawal of British troops from India as they came
under British Army Regulations.

The WAC(I) Association hold a Re-union luncheon each
year at the Victory Services Club, London. This has been
in existence for some 50 years and is held
usually in October.

THE CLUB IS NOW CLOSED DOWN!
