The FANY was created in 1907 as a first aid link between front-line fighting units and field hospitals. During the First World War FANY members ran field hospitals, drove ambulances and set up soup kitchens and troop canteens, often under dangerous conditions. By the time of the Armistice in November 1918 they had been awarded many decorations for bravery, including 17 Military Medals, 1 Legion d'Honneur and 27 Croix de Guerre. They also served during the Second World War, and the organisation is still in existence today.
