Is there a Category for the Women's Royal Air Force in World War I?

Question

I have a couple of relatives who served in the Women's Royal Air Force during World War I. I can't find a category that would recognize their service, the closest being the Women's Auxiliary Air Force that served during World War II. I was wondering, am I missing something? Or is this a category that should be created? After all, we have to celebtrate our women who served in the military too!

Here's a page on the history of this fascinating unit:

Categories are setup now!

• For the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF), the women's branch of the Royal Air Force from 1918 to 1920, see Category:Women's Royal Air Force, World War I.
• For the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), the female auxiliary of the Royal Air Force during World War II (28 Jun 1939 to 31 Jan 1949), see Category:Women's Auxiliary Air Force.
• For the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF), the women's branch of the Royal Air Force from 1949 to 1994, see Category:Women's Royal Air Force.

Technically the RAF did not exist during WW!

The RAF was founded on 1st April 1918 under the control of the British Government Air Ministry, making it the oldest independent air force. This brought together the Royal Flying Corps, who had been under the control of the British Army, and the Royal Naval Air Service, previously controlled by the Admiralty.

So you should be asking about the Royal Flying Corps or the RNAS, if you know which arm is appropriate for your profile.
