What During World War 2 what was fany?
A FANY was a member of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in
Britain, which was and independent women's organisation. They were
created in 1907 to act as a mid point between the front line and
field hospitals and by WW2 they were driving ambulances and giving
some first aid to soldiers. They are still in existence.
Hmmmm I'm not sure about the above....I thought FANY, as
described above, so far so good, was a cover for women in the SOE,
the Special Operations Executive, the arm of covert British forces
fighting with the Resistances in Occupied Europe in WW2. Certainly
Violette Szabo (Carve Her Name With Pride) was in the FANY. No, I
got it wrong ! 1907 it is ! So I've learned something new today
