Women's Auxilary Service (Burma)

The WAS(B)s were reformed following the British retreat out of Burma. When reformed it became a canteen service, operating both static and mobile canteens. The WAS(B)s were part of the 14th Army, and followed the troops during the retaking of Burma, cheering the soldiers with tea, cake, and sandwiches, at times very close to the front line. WAS(B) canteens also sold items such as hair cream, razor blades and cigarettes, and some even operating a library service.

WAC(I) operated in similar terms to the British ATS, although its structure was quite different, with many of its members not serving away from their home area.
