Sent by Marie Stubbs (nee Bird) who says:

 

I’m not sure why we had a sailor with us. It was suggested that he might have been there to carry the Chief’s books. Perhaps he was for moral support for our instructor, as we were the first WRANS to go through it was probably a very new experience.

 

When we completed our six week course we were thrown into watch-keeping at the CRS at Flinders. It took a while to adjust to lack of sleep but it is amazing what you can get used to and we were soon seasoned watch-keepers.

When I found your website of Ex Wrans classes of the Communications branch I noticed there was no Class 9 of 1952.
That was my class that I have a photo of so I have attached it to this email. I have made a list of those names that I can
remember if you would like me to send it on let me know.

 

I hope this will be able to be included in the website in the future.

Yours Faithfully
