Founded a few months ago, the Women's Auxiliary Corps Reserve (WARC) had already in October 1940, thousands of members recruited in Montreal, Quebec and other towns of the province.

The unit had received its flags in the same month at the armory of Fusiliers Mont-Royal. An important training camp was established at St. Anne de Bellevue to military women.

It was indeed the first time a formal ceremony of a regimental flag (ceremony known in English as the Trooping The Colours), was organized by a women's unit in Canada. The unit was commanded by Major Sophie Elliott, assisted by several French-Canadian officers.

Many French Canadians occupied key roles plan within the WARC in Quebec. Thus the captain Jeanne Germain was appointed Secretary and French liaison officer with the Canadian press.

CWAC Recruits were being trained for one month in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, where they learned the rules, traditions and etiquette of the army. Those who wanted to become officers were to follow more special training and be subject to harsher discipline.

Sergeant Marie Frémont gave first aid courses in French. Sergeant Theresa Mercier also served as an instructor, as Sergeant Yvonne Lantagne, head of French cartography course. The lieutenant commanding a platoon Marcelle Delage and Corporal Roy Rose come acting assistant quartermaster.

However, one should not overestimate the contribution of French Canadian women to units of the army. In mid-April 1942, the CWAC Training Centre in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, sur172 auxiliary CWAC, there were only 12 Canadians to the French training at Macdonald College.
