QARANC look up please.

[Doddie]

Can somebody do me a great favour? I am not on the Forces War Records website - and I am not entirely sure if the information I am after is contained on it. My mother was in the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps between approximately 1955 - 1960. She served in Malaya during the 'emergency' and I  have her medal that she was awarded. I am trying to find records relating to her. My mother's name then was Ishobel McAlpine Stewart. She was born in November of 1932 in Argyll, Scotland and was a Lieutenant and then a Captain in the QARANC. I have a great many wonderful photos of her from her time in Malaya/Singapore. I would just like some more service details to complete my research. I am aware of the fact  that by calling the conflict an emergency it meant that it allowed the government of the day to declare that it was not a war in the technical sense of the word. Therefore it may be that there are no relevant records to view on the Forces War Record website. That being the case does anybody have any ideas where  else  I can look for the records. I would be grateful for any assistance.

Regards

Doddie
