"WAACS FOR J FORCE
Fourteen Waacs at present in camp at Fort Dorset are anxiously awaiting the final word that will decide whether all or only a portion of their number will sail in the Empire Pride with the J Force replacement draft.
In charge of the W.A.A.C. draft is Subaltern Marjory Hardcastle, daughter of Mr and Mrs H. Hardcastle, Lower Hutt, and one of the first to join the W.A.A.C. She went to New Caledonia with the first medical division, was later in charge of W.A.A.C. helpers at Bourail Club, and, since returning from the Pacific, has been in charge of the W.A.A.C. detachment at Papakura.
Three other members of the party, Miss Mavis Freeman, Miss Yolande Innes, and Miss Joyce Ford, have served overseas, the two former on the staff of a hospital ship and the latter in the Pacific.
Members of the draft are: Subaltern Hardcastle (Lower Hutt), Privates Daphne Bayne (Dunedin), Agnes Elliott (Gore), Ford (South Canterbury), Freeman (Wellington), Constance Gilbert (Christchurch), Innes (Wellington), Bernice Jones (New Plymouth), Cecille Mack (Wellington), Alice McAndrew (Wairoa), Dinah McPherson (Foxton), Patsy Penty (Auckland), Mary and Zita Schumacher (twin sisters from Midhurst), and Barbara Taylor (Auckland)."
