Pamela Nicholls,WWII Wran: ’How We Foiled The Japanese In The Pacific’

During WWII, the HARMAN receiving station in Canberra provided communications services for the ships of the allied Navies working in the Pacific region. Commissioned HMAS HARMAN in 1943, most vital to its success were the first servicewomen who began work as telegraphers, telegraphists etc forming the basis of the WRANS which were formed in 1941. Tonights Speaker Pamela Nicholls enlisted in 1943, and after training, her initial job was to monitor Imperial Japanese Nay ships and submarines radio traffic, in conjunction with Bletchley Park in the  UK

Pamela was commissioned later in the war and the tale she has to tell us is of great interest to History
