If there were vacancies they would follow their husbands on posting. I even knew one who went with her husband to AKR and was locally employed out there. I also seem to remember that, on marriage, a regular type could become Locally Employed, thereby not having to leave.
Known in the 70s as "Locally Purchased" staff.
