DescriptionNSW Association of Jewish Service & Ex-Service Men & Women (NAJEX) membership badge belonging to Aircraftwoman Elizabeth Goldstein (nee Woolf), who served in the Royal Australian Air Force from 26 June 1942 to 7 July 1943. Such medals were awarded for 28 days full-time service in the Armed Forces between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945.
In February 1941 a Women’s Auxiliary to the RAAF was established due to the need for more signals and maintenance personnel. An Aircraftwoman was the equivalent rank of an Aircraftman, though they had mainly operator and general clerical roles.
Elizabeth enlisted two months prior to her husband Ralph.
