Wrens' (Women's Royal Naval Service) Uniform (Flux)

The Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS), commonly known as the Wrens, was the women's branch of the British Royal Navy, established in 1917 and active during both World Wars. Its members, known as Wrens, took on a wide range of critical roles, from clerical work and communications to operating radar, maintaining aircraft, and serving as mechanics. During World War II, the Wrens expanded significantly, becoming an essential part of the war effort as women filled positions traditionally held by men, freeing them for frontline duties. The Wrens were distinguished by their navy-blue uniforms with distinctive insignia, and they became symbols of resilience, professionalism, and patriotism. Disbanded in 1993 when women were integrated into the Royal Navy, the legacy of the Wrens remains an important chapter in the history of women in the military.
