WW1 Women’s Royal Naval Service uniform. Worn by Sybil W Aspinall, who joined the WRNS in 1918. She was Assistant Principal(again, women were not allowed to have navy ranks), and she worked in Admiralty House, London. She was awarded the British War Medal. The WRNS was formed in 1918. There were two branches, the Mobile, whose members could be sent anywhere in Britain, and the Immobile, who lived at home and worked locally. Only women who had a male relative in the Navy were eligible to enlist.
