The Women's Auxiliary Service (WAS) (Polish: Pomocnicza Służba Kobiet (PSK), Pestki[1]) was a unit of Polish Armed Forces during II World War established in 1941 by initiative of Lt. Gen. Władysław Anders, while creating Polish Armed Forces in the East.[2][3]

Pestki worked as nurses, cooks, teachers in schools for war orphans, secretaries in staffs, pilots, drivers, etc.[3][4][5][6][7][8] In active service there were around 4,000 volunteers in any time of the war, but 1 July 1945, in time of highest abundance, there were 7,000 women in WAS.

In 1944 WAS was transferred to II Corps[9] in Italy. In July 1944 Minister of National Defence reorganized WAS separating three new units:
Women's Army Auxiliary Service (WAAS) (Pomocnicza Wojskowa Służba Kobiet, PWSK)[7]
Women's Air Force Auxiliary Service (WAFAS) (Pomocnicza Lotnicza Służba Kobiet, PLSK)[7][8]
