FANY, acronym of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, a British women's ambulance unit formed in 1907. It was later renamed the Women's Transport Service but its volunteer members remained known as FANYs. During the war they served as drivers and welfare workers; many worked for
SOE, notably as wireless operators and cipher clerks, and 73 were trained as agents. Of these, 22 were sent into France, and 7, including
Violette Szabo, were caught and did not survive. See also
women at war.
