London Auxiliary Ambulance Service (LAAS) driver and attendant with their  Talbot ambulance in 1939.  The LAAS was created to support the existing London Ambulance Service (LAS) dealing with the expected casualties of air raids on London. Whilst the LAS was organised by the London County Council (LCC), the LAAS was managed by individual ambulance stations.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My mother was an ambulance driver in LAAS during the blitz and attended the bombing of the Guards Chapel in London. I have no record of her service , her name was Joan Hebden nee Rodrigues. Can you help me find her service records.
Best,
Louise
