Work of Wrens
"During last year an average of 30 ratings month were made officers, About one-third of them are responsible for welfare and dis- sold the Duchess, "The cipline." remaining two-thirds of the officers are employed on duties which would otherwise be performed by. naval officers, such as cyphering or secTE- tarial and confdential work. This enables officers to be released for mose active duties with the Fleet.". ***
