Description
The Women's Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS) is taking part in the Navy's vital job of defending the seas. WRANS operate at Harman Naval Station, near Canberra. WR/19 Telegraphist Betty Cleburne, the youngest WRAN at Harman, is doing her washing. But WRANS do not call it washing. They use the naval term "dhobi-ing". Telegraphist Alma Betty Cleburne, from Gordon, NSW, joined up as an 18 year old and served from 2 June 1941 until 4 December 1944.
