Enfield Pictures. (56K Warning)

[Dimitri]

Why would anyone take offence? Great pics and a lovely girl with a beautiful smile.

Well Gibbs, I don't know really, but thought I'd say that anyways. To be on the safe side.

You know that picture was taken 66 years ago, putting her about the same age (+/- a year) as my grandfather who faught in World War 2 is and he used a Bren in the War.

She does look adorable though. I bet she did a good job on those mags as well.

Can anyone give me the link to those archives? My grandmother worked at Inglis during the war and I bet she'd love to see some of those photos.

She did all kinds of things, like soldering Bren mags, grenade parts, and even test fired Bren guns. I know for fact that she worked on the batch of Brens that got shipped to China.

Any links would be great. Thanks

Those photos werescanned out of a bok my grandmother has called "Women at War".

I'm honestly not sure where you'd find a copy, as it seemed to be a sort of yearbook type thing given to the girls. It covers not just small arms, but tank and aircraft factories, ammunition factories, parachute factories, etc. etc.

I think I included all the inglis pictures, but next time I see her I'll leaf through it again and scan anything else I can find of interest.

So, what do you do for a living?
Oh, I screw butts down at the factory.

Bada bing!

Thanks to TheIndifferent1 giving me that link to the Archvies, I hope the Mods don't mind.
