Good afternoon
My great grandmother was involved with the local Women's Mutual Service Club acting as secretary for a number of years. Following a little bit of research via newspaper archives I understand it to have been an organisation that began during WW1, firstly abroad in Australia, for women with their men and boys at the front. It seems to have evolved offering support to widows and single mothers over the years leading to WW2. The women gathered to collect and make items to send to the front and then no doubt support each other during heart breaking times.
My great grandmother was involved in the 1940's no doubt due to her sons having served and been injured in WW1 and the loss of her grandson, my uncle, in WW2.
I am hoping for any further information. I have only just begun researching the club and so far only found a few references on line.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Amanda
