Description: | name tag, woven, white tag with red lettering, Dorothy E. Dixon
WRNS trousers, known as 'tiddly' trousers worn by Dorothy Dixon from 1943 to 1946. These were worn in bad weather, at night, or for doing rough jobs. WREN Dixon was a third officer in the Fleet Air Arm. The uniform was issued at Mill Hill. Tailors came to the base, and took measurements and orders. The quality of the fabric was not standard, but depended on what each WREN could afford. WREN Dixon spent 3 weeks of preliminary training at Mill Hill. Typical duties included scrubbing and polishing floors. Her working hours were 5.30 am till 6.00 pm. During her career with the WREN she trained as a radio mechanic and telephonist. She spent most of the war tracking all planes in the Navy by radar.
