Rosie (Rosetta) was a Canteen Worker for the WAAC during World War 1.
Women looked after soldiers by cooking food and providing a waitress service. They cooked meals for the soldiers including savoury rice, stuffed tomatoes, rice croquettes, sea pie, curried cod, fish kedgeree (sic), fish cakes and liver and onions. They also made beef tea, mutton broth, brawn, potato pie and duff pudding. They sometimes served up food which is perhaps more familiar to us today such as stew and even curry!
She re-enlisted as a WAAC during World War 2 according to the 1939 Household Survey.
