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.
