Mary Ingham’s Tracing Your Service Women Ancestors is an essential guide for uncovering the often-overlooked contributions of women who served alongside Britain’s armed forces between 1840 and 1930. From army, naval, and air force nurses to members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS), and the Women’s Royal Air Force (WRAF), this book shines a light on the diverse roles women played in military contexts—especially during the First World War.
Ingham offers practical advice for tracing individual service records and navigating the wide array of archival sources available. With a particular focus on World War I, she reveals the stories of pioneering women whose courage and commitment helped shape the course of history. Whether your ancestor served on the front lines or supported operations from behind the scenes, this guide provides the tools and context needed to bring their legacy into view.
