Hello, I am looking for my late mother’s WAAAF service file. My mother left school in about 1941 to enlist in the WAAAF in Western Australia. I have her service number here somewhere. Mum was promoted to the rank of corporal and served in the records section at RAAF HQ in Perth.

I would be grateful for any assistance in locating my mother’s records. If they are not with NAA, is there an RAAF records section address to which I can address my enquiry, please?
