SUMMARY:The Women Police Service in World War One
DESCRIPTION:\nFrom its embryonic first steps with the need to protect Belgian refugees, through to a force of over 1,000 officers working in different environments, this talk charts the progress of this organisation through to its demise in the early 1920’s.\n\nThe story begins with the suffragettes and suffragists, including some who had been to prison and force fed.  Mention is made of the intervention of the Ministry of Munitions requiring many hundreds of officers to undertake duty in explosive and other munitions factories.\nInterestingly, an apostrophe ‘s’ was never used in their title.\nTea and Coffee will be available.\nRaffle\nLarge free car park adjacent to the hall.\nVisitors and Non-Members are welcome – £5 pp\nPhotograph: ‘The Devil’s Porridge Museum”\n
