Topic:
Ms Bryce's book, entitled, “First In, Last Out”, includes extensive photographs and documents detailing the history of the Women's Division, from its formation to its disbanding in 1946, as well as stories that show the contirubtions and bravery of the women who served. Ms Bryce will share the stories of these women, showing they can be a source of inspiration for everyone, as we learn of their challenging paths during the war. It is notable that when Queen Elizabeth II was given a copy of the book during a visit to Canada in 2010, she immediately began reading and was so engrossed she almost missed her next appointment. The book was placed in the Queen's personal library and she later sent Glad a personal letter complimenting her work.
