WRAC Exhibition at Guildford Museum

In November 2008, Guildford Museum is plannung an exhibition on the WRAC's connections with Guildford. The intention is to concentrate on the post-war period, though the role of No 7 ATS Training Centre in wartime will form the introduction. The displays will depend very much on loans from the National Army Museum, where the WRAC Museum's collections were transferred in 1992.

The Curator, Matthew Alexander, would like to include recollections of life at Stoughton, especially before the rebuilding of 1964. Loans of memorabilia - photographs, uniform items etc - would also be much appreciated.

He is also keen to know of anyone who has taken special interest in the history of the Corps who might like to help him. Historians have rather neglected the WRAC as such, and have concentrated on the ATS. He hopes this exhibition will do a little to correct that.

M Alexander can be contacted at Guildford Museum or by telephone at 01483 444865

 

Southport Veterans Day

Steve(Louxandxsteve@aol.com)is organising The Southport Veterans Day 2008 to take place on Princes park on Sunday the 29th June 2008. It is run in conjunction with The Veterans Agency and The Veterans Fund. We hope to make this an annual event.

I would like to ask you and your members, and the benevolent Fund if the would like to attend and set up stall. There is no charge and entry to the park is free.

I have also just found out that the ATS are entitled to a Veterans Badge and I am going to put adds in the local press to ask if any ladies who have not already received it would like to come to the park and have them presented.
