Aileen Hodgson - WREN
My mother joined up with the Wrens; she was a cook by training and so she was taken on in that capacity. There was a choice between the land army and the navy and she opted for the navy: there was a shortage of men in the navy and she was drafted on board one of the naval training craft - training naval officers in navigation and seamanship generally and going between Liverpool and Belfast. However, it is quite difficult to get information about the deployment of Wrens on board naval craft so little is known. There is a photograph and it is now appended to this description of her activities.
