cutiger83 Posted August 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2022 Actually she was not the first female to receive this award. She may have been the first WAAC but not the first female. Edith Ellen Greenwood served with the ANC during WWII. She received the Soldier's Medal in April of 1943 for saving 15 patients from a fire. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
