View in Radio Times

Crystal Pudney introduces some of the W.R.N.S. to speak for themselves In this interesting series, which Crystal Pudney introduced three weeks ago and described in an article in the RADIO Times last week, members of the wartime working Services are coming to the microphone to describe their jobs. We have heard about the A.T.S., and the F.A.N.Y.s, and the Land Army ; today it is the turn of the W.R.N.S., known to everyone since the last war affectionately as the Wrens.
Their job is to look after our sailors at the ports. They are the Navy which never goes to sea, but maintains on shore all the traditions of the Senior Service. Among those in the studio this evening will be Superintendent French, who trains all the W'.R.N.S. officers.
