hi all, my grandmother violet rosina borlase (her maiden name) is 106yrs old in january and we have been told by the world war one veterans association she may be the only known living woman left to have served in the waac in ww1, we have been trying find her army service records but sadly it looks like her records were lost in the blitz's and was not one of the 7,000 records saved on the waac in ww1, we have tried the national archive and the waac association but with no luck, is there any other places i could look for her records?
the ww1 veterans association have been most helpful trying to find any info on her and they ask if she would like to come to london one day soon and meet a very very special lady if they could arrange it
the daily paper in south wales did a story of her time in london in the first world war a few weeks back and took a nice photo of her and my dad,
if any one would like to read it pm me your email address and il email you a copy of it. many thanks if you can help
atb ian. h
