Eleanor Brown
Served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corp (WAAC)
Unfortunately, Eleanor’s service records do not survive. What we do know is that she died while serving with the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp. It seems possible that she may well have died of the Spanish Flu which was rife in the winter of 1918/19.
