First Aid Nursing Yeomanry
The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (Princess Royal's Volunteer Corps) (FANY (PRVC)) is a British independent all-female registered charity formed in 1907 and active in both nursing and intelligence work during the World Wars. Although its members wear a military style uniform it is not part of the Regular or Reserve Army.
==Formation==
It was formed as the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in 1907 as a first aid link between the field hospitals and the front lines, and was given the ''yeomanry'' title as all its members were originally mounted on horseback. Unlike nursing organisations, the FANY saw themselves rescuing the wounded and giving first aid, similar to a modern combat medic.〔p.30 Lee, Janet ''War girls: the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in the First World War'' Manchester University Press〕〔p.266-267 Money Barnes, Major R. ''The Soldiers of London'' Seeley, Service & Co 1963〕
Their founder, Sergeant Major, later Captain, Edward Baker, a veteran of the Sudan Campaign and the Second Boer War, felt that a single rider could get to a wounded soldier faster than a horse-drawn ambulance.〔p.32-33 Lee〕〔pp.29-30 Noakes, Lucy ''Women in the British Army: War and the Gentle Sex, 1907-1948'' Taylor & Francis〕 Each woman was trained not only in first aid but signalling and drilling in cavalry movements.〔p.33-4 Lee〕 The original uniform was a scarlet tunic with white facings, a navy blue riding skirt with three rows of white braid at the bottom and a hard topped scarlet hat with black leather peak. In 1912 the uniform was changed to a khaki tunic, khaki riding skirt and later a khaki soft cap.
Leaders of FANY included Grace McDougall and Lillian Franklin.〔Roy Terry, "McDougall , Grace Alexandra (1887–1963)", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (2004); online edn, May 2006 (accessed 6 March 2013 )〕
