425th Division "I've been looking through my old photos and found some of my mother, Isabella 'Ella' Hush, when she served during WWII. I think that it was in Edinburgh but I can't be sure. This group photo indicates it was 425th Division, but I have been unable to find any information about it or where my mother was stationed. I would certainly appreciate any information regarding the division that you can find." Alistair Wilson; Cessnock, New South Wales, Australia: July 1, 2015 |

WAAF Training Course 425d "Alistair Wilson who wrote 'Comment 1' above is, I think, my brother-in-law Bill Hush's cousin. I would think that the '425d' is not a division number, but a WAAF training course number.** There aren't any officers in the group, only NCOs. I wouldn't know where this photograph would have been taken, but it would have perhaps been a fairly basic course. I believe it's possible to get hold of service records but don't know how. Maybe someone else hereabouts will know how." David Bain, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England: July 9, 2015 (2 emails) |

** On 28 Jun 1939, the WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) was created. On 1 Feb 1949, it was renamed the WRAF (Women's Royal Air Force) Peter Stubbs, Edinburgh: 11 July 2015 |

WAAF Training Course 425d "Re Alisair's query in Comment 1, regarding the WAAF Intake Number 425. I would agree that this photo looks exactly like an Intake at a RAF Entry Level course. The address for personal records or assistance is as follows:
It might help if Alistair could add any further information, eg Name, Initials, Service Number or date. More info that might help can be found by "Googling" RAF Service Records. Iain C Purves, Waterdown, Ontario, Canada: July 18, 2015 |
