Uniform, Leading Wren Lorna Stanger

This uniform belonged to Lorna Stanger, who served in Britain as a photographer with the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.

The cap tally on her hat bears the letters "HMCS" for "His Majesty's Canadian Ship", which identified the wearer as a member of the Royal Canadian Navy but maintained security by concealing the identity of the ship or shore establishment in which they served. The right sleeve of her uniform carries a badge indicating her trade as a Leading Photographer (top), along with two chevrons (bottom) testifying to two years of completed wartime service.
