Summary

When established, the aim of the Ex-AAMWS (Australian Army Medical Women's Service) Association of New South Wales Inc. was to maintain friendships formed during World War II as well as assisting members in whatever way possible. This includes the dissemination of information about pensions and benefits through their quarterly publication Pulse. Members also support a range of charities, care for frail members and participate in marches, wreath laying ceremonies and reunions.

Just wanted to let you know that proud ex-member of the AAMWS, Ida Frawley, passed away on 13th October aged 89 years and 355 days. Her family are holding an informal memorial service for her at 2.30 pm Wednesday 20th October in Hillside Chapel, Palmdale Cemetery. We will be reading out selections from her poetry, some of it dating back to her days in Bougainville and New Guinea. Thankyou.
