Ivy Edna "Vicki" Ballard
Womens Royal Naval Service
My mother was Ivy Ballard, born in 1923. She enlisted in the WRNS and was stationed in India, maybe Ceylon. My father was from the U.S. was also stationed in India. This is where they met and married. All we know of my mother’s military career is what I’ve written here. We have no information on date of enlistment, service number, awards, rank, or date of discharge.
She and my dad were married on 6th of May 1945 and she came to this country after being discharged in 1946. His name was William G. MacKenzie. We have his records which show he was in Burma, so I would think she would have been around that area.
