Original WW1 era studio portrait postcard, of attractive woman in khaki uniform - possibly a woman rider of Women's First Aid Nursing Yeomanry corps, (FANY), who provided medical support, (some were mounted), Bungay, Suffolk, England, circa 1915
The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY) was another unit that provided medical support. Formed in 1907, the FANY was modelled on military lines. It included 'Yeomanry' in its title as its members rode horses. Volunteers paid to join the FANY and had to cover their own expenses for uniforms, first aid kits, riding school fees and horse care. This meant only wealthy women enrolled.(possibly providing mounted detachments with horse ambulance waggons, to take over wounded at Clearing Hospitals or Dressing Stations and convoy them to Base Hospitals or to the nearest railhead), See also
