摘要

摘要:由于对1917年从英国邮局借调到法国担任话务员和电报员的年轻女性所扮演的关键角色缺乏充分的了解,妇女辅助军(WAAC),后来被称为玛丽女王陆军辅助军(QMAAC)的史学界存在一个巨大的空白。他们特别隶属于英国远征军陆军基地的皇家工兵信号部队及其总部的所有三个梯队,他们的到来确保了军队重要通信线路的持续顺利运行。这篇文章探讨了他们作为专业技术人员在一个安全严密的军事部门中的关键作用是如何为冲突的最终成功做出重大贡献的。人们可能会质疑,为什么他们的技能后来从未在史学中得到解决,并且可以得出结论,早就应该得到充分的承认了。

The Key Role Played by WAAC British Post Office Female Staff in Army Signal Units on the Western Front, 1917–1920
ABSTRACT:There is a gaping void in the historiography of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC), later called the Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps QMAAC), brought about by the absence of an informed understanding of the crucial role played by the young women seconded from British post office exchanges to serve as telephonists and telegraphists in France in 1917. Specifically attached to Royal Engineers' signal units in British Expeditionary Force army bases and all three echelons of its General Headquarters, their arrival ensured the continued smooth operation of the army's vital lines of communication. This article examines how their key role as professional technologists within a tightly secured military sector made a significant contribution to the final successful outcome of the conflict. Questions can be raised why their skills were never later addressed within the historiography, and it may be concluded that adequate recognition is long overdue.
