The Elgin Military Museum

Preserving the Past ... For the Future



Women at War: World War Two



Continuing in the Main Exhibit Room is the Women at War display. Women in the Second World War had much more hands on experience in the war effort in the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division, the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (W.R.C.N.S.), and the Canadian Womens Army Corps (C.W.A.C.), as well as the traditional role as Nursing Sisters with the R.C.A.M.C. Currently the Museum is focused on Women's contributions to the Navy and Army forces; however, the Air Force women and the Nursing Sisters are not forgotten. This exhibit's main feature is the dress uniform of both a C.W.A.C. and W.R.C.N.S.
