@ww2relichunter, Thank you for your response's. I was looking up the buttons on ebay and I saw one of them worth 20.00 USD. I was amazed! So the women in the WAC, they worked in the medical area and played more of a support role then?
@stuka f, I also thank you for all of your responses! I am just amazed on how much of a difference there is for each button

. I tried the waterburry button website, but I found that the website did not provide much on the history on the buttons, maybe I am missing something? The other websites that you provided, were helpful so thank you!

Ow I was going to say,

1000 British pounds is over 1500 USD. WOW for a button? I would have never thought a button would go for that much! Thank you for both of the forums. I'll join them in a bit, (oaky after work today). Thank you for the tips, and the other forums!
