LONDON, Feb, 1.—You're familiar with England's WAAFS,WRENS, army and all the other women’s service groups that play vital roles in Britain’s war effort—but you probably don’t know the Women's legion. ’ Better get acquainted, fot. the Women’s legion is the mother of all England's slick present-day services, and the foster-mother, at least, of America’s, whose creation was inspired by Britain's
iaries. oh The legion is the “mother” service, not only because it js the oldest, but because heavy drafts were made on it to fill the ranks of the other services. Founded ’way back in 1915 by Lady Lon-
active president) it recruited close to 20,000 women who ultimately were formed into the land army and a motor transport section, besides running service canteéns and communal kitchens. The legion disbanded in 1920, bus kept a skeleton office staff.

WHEN THE PRESENT war's clouds gathered in 1938, Lady Londonderry reconstituted the legion. By the end of 1940, over 4000 members had been drafted into the ATS and the WAAF, " leaving around 4000 to carry on the original work of driving official cars and manning mobile canteens. In the latter work they performed yeoman service all during the horror of the blitz,” producing scores of tales of individual heroism. The first of England’s women to die on active duty were the Amy
