Merlinettes was the colloquial name given to the women of the Corps Féminin des Transmissions (CFT, "Women's Signal Corps") of the French army during World War II. The Merlinettes took part in most campaigns of the Liberation of France, from the landing in Provence to the Allied advance from Paris to the Rhine as well as the Italian campaign. Their nickname was derived from Colonel Merlin, the creator of the corps who formed the unit in French Algeria during the winter of 1942. In April 1944 about 1,095 women were serving in the Corps reaching a peak by the end of the war of over 2,000. They are considered the first female soldiers of the French army.

Leur surnom est dérivé du général Merlin, commandant les transmissions en Afrique du Nord, qui eut l'idée de cette création et qui en conduisit la réalisation à l'hiver 1942 en Afrique du Nord. Elles sont les premières femmes « soldats » de l'armée de terre française. (fr) |
