Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps
Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps member
- ... that during the First World War the Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps (member pictured) was criticised in the contemporary press for "encroaching too closely on male territory"? "women were seen as encroaching too closely on male territory, as in the WVR and other uniformed voluntary corps such as the Home Service Corps and the Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps" (p60)
- ALT1:... that during the First World War the British Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps (member pictured) tended to the injured, retrieved corpses and cleared the streets following German bombing raids? "the Women's Reserve Ambulance Service ... was often the first to arrive amid bombs falling ... assisting the injured ... helped pick up the dead ... helped clear the streets"

- Article moved from userspace to mainspace on 5th September. Nominated within time. Length is ok. Has citations for each line. Copyvio detector doesn't catch much. The image is in the public domain. Hooks are ok. Both hooks are cited and content present in the article.
- I just have a doubt with the first hook and these words - "in the contemporary press". I can't see the entire text of the book, and the citation within the book, numbered 130 is not visible to me. Could you just confirm the source. Regards.

- Hi DiplomatTesterMan, earlier in the section of the book on page 129 it says "debates in both the Houses of Parliament and in the press concerning female suffrage often returned to the question of comparability: could women's work in wartime stand comparison with the experience of the male combatant? Although women were invariably praised for their wartime work in these debates ... however, when women were seen as encroaching too closely on male territory, as in the WVR and other uniformed voluntary corps such as the Home Service Corps and the Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps, they were criticised...". However, if there are any doubts I am more than happy for you to strike the first hook - Dumelow (talk) 06:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Explanation seems to clarify the doubt aptly... good to go from my side.
