The Ladies Auxiliary and its secret agenda

[Eisenfaust]

Here's the second promised piece of fiction, this one introducing the women of the Ladies Auxiliary for my IHMN setting. What are they really up to?

Here's a direct link to the post on "Dispatches from the Rim":

Thanks goodness! I was afraid they might closeted suffragettes! 

No criticism to guide you, alas. Found it soundly cracking at first read!

Why Doug, you say the sweetest things! Thanks for reading and for the quick reply.

Spent 15 years in Nursing before moving to Cartography followed by "other skill sets" and I can see several female nurses in my mind for those roles.  One particular one who was fired in DC for rejecting the repeated  forceful advances of another female staff member by KO'ing her.

I like your names for the characters.

Gracias,

Glenn

Glad it's bringing to mind particular people for you. Thanks, Glenn. Love that anecdote!

Lesson of the moment:

Never make a repeated unappreciated pass at a Nebraska Farm Girl.

@Conquistador: My family is full of nurses and similarly strong Southern women. I completely understand! LOL

Whereas mine is full of Welsh women redolent of Boudicca on a bad hair day    I'll swap you any day.

While technically a transplant, both parents born in Nebraska, met in St. Louis, married, and moved back when I was a toddler, so I still think of myself as a native.

Nebraska farm girls tend to be quiet, but have plenty of practice wrestling male siblings. I do not assume complacent.  

Whereas mine is full of Welsh women redolent of Boudicca on a bad hair day    I'll swap you any day.

Ah, while my generation only is 1/4 Cymric stock, I would say you are describing my sister, painfully well.

Now if we'd grown up on the farm, with a few stout brothers... *shudder*

Sorry for the threadjack, Eisenfaust, but we hope you continue to be 'glad it's bringing to mind particular people' for us.

Edit: Sorry, saw I'd messed up the first quote, and repaired. Least, it's not a 'bump'.

[Eisenfaust]

Who could be upset about such a colorful hijacking? I feel like I know these people.

[Brummie Thug]

Great Read mate, Apologies for only just getting around to reading it! 

[Eisenfaust]

Please, Brummie, I know you've got a lot on your plate. I just appreciate that you took the time to read and comment, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
