Earliest a woman born June 1926 could have joined the WRENS.

What would have been the earliest date a woman could have joined the WRENS, and what training would she have to have gone through, and for how long, prior to deployment.
Birth date as above.

Thanks.

The age limits were from 18 to 50, so it would be 1944.

I think I would check a bit earlier. My friend`s mother managed to enlist , I think at 17 , by lying about her age.
