Hi

Can anyone provide guidance on the uniform please?

Looks like WW1 WRAF, 1918

Do you know her name?

I believe it to be Beatrice Jessie Milbourne b 6 May 1910 in Great Wakering, Essex

There are two Milbournes in the WRAF records: Noelle from Barrow, and Elizabeth from South Shields

The uniform is definitely WW1 era so it is not Beatrice.

I'm sorry but I've given you the wrong name - it should be Victoria Maud Bullen b 18 Sep 1897. She married Thomas Elliott
