#OTD in 1944, the Naval wing of the Women’s Auxiliary Corps (India) was formed. A year later, in March 1945, the wing was renamed to ‘Women’s Royal Indian Naval Service’ (WRINS). This would be the first time women would serve in the Navy. A long thread (1/20) (2/20) Ordinance No. XIII of 1942 created the Women’s Auxiliary Corps (India) on 9 April 1942. Originally created to release soldiers to field duties, it was expanded to include the RIN and the IAF. The FOCRIN Admiral John Henry Godfrey was instrumental in setting the WRINS up.
