In page Letitia Fairfield:

"

When Fairfield first applied to work for the War Office, she was rejected as it was not believed that the help of female doctors was necessary. However, several years later in 1917, following the unforeseen deaths of numerous male soldiers and doctors, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps was established, and Fairfield was appointed as their Medical Officer. A year later, she was appointed Chief Medical Officer to the Southern Command, and was subsequently elevated to Inspector of Medical Services for the Royal Air Force; the Woman's Royal Air Force.[1] She became responsible for the medical care of eight thousand military women, and a further twenty-two thousand at home.[citation needed]
