IN ACTION STATIONS
WORK BY AUSTRALIAN GIRLS
IN FRONT LINE OF DEFENCE,
Australian girls have gone into action stations along Australia's front line of defence (says the Sydney Sun). They are engaged in a diversity of operational duties. Many have 'been attached to the American armed forces, principally as motor transport drivers. Scores are engaged in telephone, telegraphic and teleprinter duties at Air Force bases. Others have become cipher clerks, general clerks, storekeepers, mess stewards and orderlies, office orderlies and cooks. Much of the girls' work is secret. Many are being trained to become expert operatives of new devices. In these and other duties the girls have released many men for other phases of defence work. The establishment is the biggest operational one in Australia, and others will be set up throughout the country. Thus the women of Australia are carrying on in their vital contribution to an Allied victory.
