	No, I wasn't, I was WRAC. I saw the appeal in my U3A magazine and thought it worth sharing

	I was there in 1956. Were you a Wren, Erika?

	Did you serve? If you did, your help is needed to save the history of your Service. When HMS Dauntless at Burghfield closed in 1981, it was thought that all records had been transferred to HMS Raleigh at Torpoint. They have never been found and there is a project underway to try to fill in some of the gaps. If you served and would like to help, please email [email protected]
