DescriptionFormed during the World War I, this community groups' aim was to organise capable women to provide noncombatant services such as cooks, drivers and nurses to free men to serve in fighting roles. This was rejected by the Government. The Corps assisted needy families of servicemen and raised funds for charities such as the "Soldiers Building Fund" which provided housing for returned soldiers.
