The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, WAACs, was formed in January 1917, as a non-military voluntary service to support the troops. The Women's uniform was a khaki jacket and skirt with a khaki cap. The women undertook duties such as cooking, storekeeping, clerical work, telephony and administration, driving and motor vehicle maintenance for the British Army. The WAAC was divided into four sections: Cookery; Mechanical; Clerical and Miscellaneous. Over 57,000 women served in the WAAC during the Great War, most on the Home Front but around 9,000 served in France. On the 9th April 1918 the corps was renamed The Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps.
